Endothermic animals maintain their body temperature by increasing metabolic heat production in cool environments.
Which food chain loses the most energy to cellular metabolism?
algae → mosquito → spider → snake
algae → mosquito → spider → bat
algae → mosquito → bat → weasel
algae → mosquito → bat
Elephant seals do deep dives to forage for food. The energy used by the seals in diving depends on their body composition; for example, fatter seals use less energy to swim to the surface at the end of a dive, allowing them to takelonger, more productive dives. Explain why you’d expect this to be the case.
Which of the following is/are a typical feature of animals as they increase in size?
I. Increased ability to exchange materials with the environment using only diffusion
II. Decreased surface area-to-volume ratio
III. Decreased total metabolic demand
