Question

An animal has a high whole animal metabolic rate which remains constantover a large range of temperatures. Which of the following is probably true about the animal? Choose all of the correct answers

It is a small animal
It uses behavioral themoregulation
Its unit metabolic rate is the same as its whole animal metabolic rate
lt is a large animal

Answer 1

• lt is a large animal

• It uses behavioral themoregulation

Step-by-step explanation:

The animal described in the question metabolic rate of whole animals, which remains constant over a wide range of temperatures. This is a common feature in endothermic animals that use metabolic heat to maintain a stable body temperature. This animal performs behavioral thermoregulation, which is the process that causes the animal to control any temperature-related ill effects, all to keep its temperature constant. Since the animal mentioned has a metabolic rate of whole animals, we can assume that this is a large animal.
