Final answer:

The respiration rate of homeotherms is proportional to body temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The respiration rate of homeotherms is proportional to body temperature.

Respiration refers to the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.

Homeotherms are organisms that maintain a relatively constant body temperature regardless of the environmental temperature.

As the body temperature of homeotherms increases, the respiration rate also increases, and vice versa.
