Endothermic Thermoregulation
< Prev
Next >

Which of the following is an example of an endotherm, characterized by substantial internal heat generation and stable body temperature regardless of environmental conditions?

TITLE: Comparative Metabolic Rates: #000000

Animal Type Energy Production (J/min) Body Temperature Stability
Endotherm 50 Maintains a constant $$37$$°C
Ectotherm 10 Varies with ambient conditions
A

An animal that produces $$50$$ Joules per minute internally but still experiences large fluctuations in body temperature, contradicting endothermic regulation.

B

An animal with a metabolic rate of $$10$$ Joules per minute that shows significant temperature fluctuations with the environment, a hallmark of ectothermy.

C

An animal that primarily relies on external heat sources to regulate its body temperature, typical of ectothermic organisms.

D

An animal generating $$50$$ Joules per minute internally while maintaining a constant body temperature of $$37$$°C, which exemplifies endothermy.
