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.
As body size increases in animals,
there is greater variability in metabolic rate.
it becomes more difficult to conserve body warmth in cold environments.
migration to tropical areas becomes necessary for thermoregulation.
there is a decrease in the surface-to-volume ratio.
reproduction becomes limited to terrestrial environments.
Consider an ectotherm and an endotherm of equal body mass. Which of the following would you expect to be true?
-both animals require the same amount of energy per unit mass
-the ectotherm requires more daily calories from food than the endotherm
-the endotherm requires less energy per unit mass but more total energy than the ectotherm
-the ectotherm requires less energy per unit mass but more total energy than the endotherm
-the ectotherm could survive a longer period without food relative to the endotherm
