Which of the following statements is true regarding the impact of the environment
on snake behavior?
In wet climates, a snake is more active because it does not lose as
much heat via evaporation.

conduction.
In cold weather, a snake is less active because the food supply is
decreased.
In dry climates, a snake is less active because there is less moisture in
the air.

- All else being equal, a warm chameleon sitting on a sunny tree branch will experience a decrease in body temperature due to conduction if: It changes color, and its new hue is a lighter color, reducing the amount of energy the chameleon absorbs from the sun. The branch is cooler than the chameleon, and heat moves directly from the warmer animal to the cooler branch. It opens its mouth, allowing water to evaporate from its tongue and cheeks. OA cold breeze moves over the chameleon, transferring heat from the warmer chameleon to the cooler, moving air.arrow_forwardIt’s sometimes said that the reason an animal does something is that it’s “for the good of the species.” Why is this argument incorrect?arrow_forwardHow Do Animals Communicate?arrow_forward
