Which of the following statements is True?a. Ectotherms generate most of their body heatmetabolically.b. Ectotherms include birds and mammals.c. Ectotherms experience variable body temperatures.d. Ectotherms are known as “warm-blooded” animals.
Ectotherms cannot be considered homeotherms, since they do not use mechanisms to keep their internal body temperatures at a constant temperature.

What is the method of heat exchange?a.Conductionb.Convectionc.Evaporationd.Radiatione.None of the choices applyarrow_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_forwardThe process of monitoring and adjusting of the body’s condition, such as temperature and pH, is known asa. exothermy.b. homeostasis.c. osmoregulation.d. ectothermy.arrow_forward

The animal would shiver. b. The animal would sweat or pant. c. The animal would not react physiologically, but it would seek a cooler location. d. The animal would not react in any way that affects body temperature.arrow_forwardWhat effect would swimming in cool water have on body temperatureregulation? What would happen if a negative-feedback mechanismdid not return the value of a variable, such as body temperature, to itsnormal range?arrow_forward
- A tiger was chasing a mouse across a field. Each was running at the same pace and increased its internal temperature to the same ratio of its initial body temperature. Which explanation correctly describes which animal would return to its initial temperature more quickly after the chase ended? A. The mouse loses water more quickly, and evaporation will cool its body faster because of size. B. The mouse has adapted to running longer distances relative to size and is more fit than the tiger. C. The tiger has a larger surface-area-to-volume ratio and will cool more quickly. D. The tiger can cool more quickly because of decreased metabolic rates within larger animals.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a way that ectotherms can change their body temperatures? a.
