- How does an aquatic animal offset the decrease in oxygen levels in warmer water? A. by increasing the flow of oxygen over the gills by ventilation B. by using oxygenated blood within capillaries called lamellae C. by breathing air off the top of the water D. by entering a state of torpor to save energy and reduce metabolic ratearrow_forwardYou are studying a large tropical reptile that has a high and relatively stable body temperature. How do you determine whether this animal is an endotherm or an ectotherm? (A) You know from its high and stable body temperature that it must be an endotherm. (B) You subject this reptile to various temperatures in the lab and find that its body temperature and metabolic rate change with the ambient temperature. You conclude that it is an ectotherm. (C) You note that its environment has a high and stable temperature. Because its body temperature matches the environmental temperature, you conclude that it is an ectotherm. (D) You measure the metabolic rate of the reptile, and because it is higher than that of a related species that lives in temperate forests, you conclude that this reptile is an endotherm and its relative is an ectotherm.arrow_forwardMake a claim as to whether you think Derrick is suffering from serious dehydration?
