homothermty
Homothermty (more commonly known as homeothermy) refers to the physiological condition of maintaining a stable internal body temperature regardless of the external environment. This process allows organisms to remain active in a wide range of temperatures by using internal metabolic heat.
예시
3 / 5Birds rely on homothermty to stay active during cold winter mornings when other animals might be sluggish.
Birds depend on a constant body temperature to remain active during cold winter mornings.
The study examines how homothermty evolved in certain lineages of theropod dinosaurs to support higher activity levels.
The research investigates the evolution of internal temperature regulation in specific dinosaur groups to facilitate increased movement.
I wish I had better homothermty because I am always freezing in this air-conditioned office.
I wish my body regulated its heat better because I feel very cold in this office.

Break it down: 'Homo' (same, as in homogeneous) + 'therm' (heat, as in thermometer) + 'ty' (state of). It is the state of having the same heat.

Homothermty requires a significantly higher metabolic rate than poikilothermy, necessitating more frequent feeding.
academicMaintaining a constant temperature requires much more energy than letting body temperature change with the environment.
The new insulation material mimics biological homothermty by self-regulating the building's temperature efficiently.
businessThe insulation material copies biological temperature regulation by automatically keeping the building at a steady heat level.

자주 혼동되는 단어
Poikilothermy is when internal temperature varies with the environment, while homothermty is keeping it constant.
Homogeneity refers to things being the same kind or nature, not specifically relating to heat or temperature.
사용 참고사항
This term is most frequently found in biology, physiology, and paleontology. While 'homeothermy' is the standard spelling in most scientific literature, 'homothermty' may appear in specific technical or older texts.
자주 하는 실수
Learners often confuse this with simple 'heat' or 'warmth'; it specifically refers to the *regulation* and *constancy* of temperature, not just being hot.
암기 팁
Break it down: 'Homo' (same, as in homogeneous) + 'therm' (heat, as in thermometer) + 'ty' (state of). It is the state of having the same heat.
어원
Derived from the Greek 'homos' (same) and 'therme' (heat), combined with the English suffix '-ty' denoting a state or quality.

문화적 맥락
The concept is central to the 'dinosaur renaissance' debate, where scientists argue whether dinosaurs possessed homothermty like modern birds.
