According to a 1988 study published in Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, the standard metabolic rate (measured at 10 and 35 degrees Celsius) of western fence lizards was significantly higher in individuals from a population in Washington compared to individuals from a population in California at all times throughout the year. Provide a reasonable explanation for this observation.

For animals of any given body size engaging in their primary form of locomotion, which form of locomotion is the least energetically costly way to cover a long distance? Use data to explain your answer. Be specific and be sure to fully explain the rational for your answer. Which of the following animals is most likely to have the highest activity of cytochrome c oxidase activity per gram of muscle tissue? For credit, fully explain the rational for your answer. A mouse that weighs 20 grams. A horse that weighs 18 kilograms. An anole that weights 2 grams. A crocodile that weights 150 kilograms.
