Question

a. what do you notice about the body temperature of the lizard at 6 °c compared to the other animals?
b. how does the ectotherm (the lizard) respond to an increase in the ambient temperature?
c. how do the other animals respond to an increase in the ambient temperature?

Explanation:

a. At 6°C, the lizard (an ectotherm) likely has a lower body - temperature compared to endothermic animals as its body - temperature is closely tied to the ambient temperature.
b. The lizard's body - temperature will increase as the ambient temperature increases since it relies on external heat sources to regulate its body temperature.
c. Endothermic animals can maintain a relatively stable body - temperature despite an increase in ambient temperature through physiological mechanisms like sweating or panting to dissipate heat.

Answer:

a. Likely has a lower body - temperature.
b. Its body - temperature increases.
c. Maintain relatively stable body - temperature through heat - dissipating mechanisms.
