1) It is _____for aquatic vertebrates to maintain a body temperature different from their surroundings because ______. A) easier; water is a much better insulator than air due to its greater density B) easier; it is possible for fish to absorb heat from the surrounding water by countercurrent exchange even when the water is colder than the fish C) harder; water is a better conductor of heat than air D) harder; terestrial vertebrates can use countercurrent exchange to absorb heat from air that is cooler than their bodies 2) Compared to terrestrial environments, marine environments have_____." A) greater differences in temperature between hot and cold seasons B) smaller differences in temperature between hot and cold seasons C) the same amount of seasonal variability in temperature
