Step 1
Endothermic organisms are those that can regulate their body temperature internally, such as mammals and birds. They generate heat through metabolic processes to maintain a constant body temperature. Ectothermic organisms, on the other hand, rely on external Show more…

Endothermic species may have a range that is limited by tolerance to cold temperatures. They may have lower metabolic rates in cold environments compared to warm environments. They tend to be restricted to lower latitudes than ectothermic species. All of these.

Smaller endothermic animals have surface area for their mass compared with larger endothermic animals. a. equal b. greater c. less d. no
Endothermic animals exhibit a lower ecological efficiency than ectothermic animals because: a. endotherms are less successful hunters than ectotherms. b. endotherms eat more plant material than ectotherms. c. endotherms are larger than ectotherms. d. endotherms produce fewer offspring than ectotherms. e. endotherms use more energy to maintain body temperature than ectotherms.
