Question

Referring to Figure 10.11, suppose you have some lizards that
are at 16°C and have been living at that temperature for 5 weeks.
What is their resting metabolic rate? If the lizards are suddenly
shifted to a room at 33°C, trace on the graph how their metabolic
rate will change from the moment they are placed in the new
room until 5 weeks have passed. According to the graph, will
they exhibit compensation?

Lizards acclimated to the
cooler ambient temperature
have a higher average
metabolic rate at any given
body temperature...
8.0
6.0
4.0
..than those
acclimated to the
warmer ambient
temperature.
