APFIVE A researcher studying endothermy in mammals measures the metabolic rates of various species at different external temperatures. They conclude that endotherms do not generate their own body heat because their internal temperature varied with the external temperature. What conceptual mistake did the researcher make?
Failing to account for the insulating effects of fur or fat in maintaining constant body temperature in endotherms.
Overlooking the potential for behavioral adaptations in endotherms to seek warmer or cooler environments.
Misinterpreting the ability of endotherms to regulate body temperature through metabolism as independence from external temperature influences.
Incorrectly measuring the metabolic rates of the mammals, leading to inaccurate conclusions about endothermy.
