On a cool day, a crab (a poikilothermic animal) is sleeping on a rock and not consuming any food. Compare what happens to its mass over the next two hours on this cold day verses on a warm day? Group of answer choices Its mass will decrease faster on the colder day than on the warmer day because the crab must increase its respiration rate to warm its body. Its mass will decrease slower on the colder day than on the warmer day because cellular respiration in the crab’s cells is occurring faster on the cold day. Its mass will decrease slower on the cold day than the warm day because the crab will conserve its fat stores to survive the cold temperature. Its mass will decrease the same amount on the colder as on the warmer day because the crab is not consuming food. None of the above
