Question

Which scenario matches the homeostasis strategy of kleptothermy? A. People huddling together on New Year's Eve in Times Square B. Penguins having dark coloring to absorb more radiation from the sun C. A dog panting at the park on a hot summer day D. Alligators basking in the sun on a rock

Answer 1

Answer: I believe it would be A. People huddling together on New Year's Eve in Times Square.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is Google's definition of Kleptothermy:

Kleptothermy is any form of thermoregulation by which an animal shares in the metabolic thermogenesis of another animal. It may or may not be reciprocal, and occurs in both endotherms and ectotherms. Its most common form is huddling.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The homeostasis strategy of kleptothermy is best exemplified with people huddling together on New Year's Eve in Times Square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many animals huddle together, as happens with Antarctic penguins, which come together to reduce energy loss from the energy intake of the other. This phenomenon is called "kleptothermy" (stealing the temperature) and possibly generates survival in cold situations. It is probable that these species could have become extinct in the absence of this behavior.
