A newly identified animal was discovered. Scientists concluded that the animal is an ectotherm. Which of the following observations best supports this conclusion?

a.The animal's body temperature increased when the ambient temperature increased.
b.The animal's body temperature increased as its metabolic rate decreased.
c. The animal's body temperature measured during the day was 37°C, and at night it was 35°C.
d. The animal's metabolic rate decreased as the ambient temperature increased.

Respuesta :

Of the given possible statements, the one that best supports that a newly discovered species is that the animal's body temperature increased when the ambient temperature increased. An exothermic animal relies on eternal temperatures to keep warm and so a rise in ambient temperatures would cause a rise in internal temperatures of the animal. Therefore, the answer is a.
