- Which of the following is a correct statement about endothermic organisms? A. Compared to ectotherms, since they cannot have their internal body temperature leave the thermoneutral zone, they are limited with regard to the types of environments they can live in. B. Endotherms do not typically use passive mechanisms for thermoregulation, such as insulation, because they utilize metabolic energy to control body temperature. C. The trait of endothermicity is a derived characteristic in mammalian animals and is not seen in other phylogenetic branches in the Metazoan Clade. D. All endotherms possess sweat glands, which allow them to conduct evaporative cooling to lower their body temperature when needed. E.
