In a species of frog that undergoes seasonal metabolic compensation, the metabolic rate measured at 10 $\degree$C in winter would be
A) higher than the metabolic rate measured at 10 $\degree$C in summer.
B) lower than the metabolic rate measured at 10 $\degree$C in summer.
C) the same as the metabolic rate measured at 25 $\degree$C in winter.
D) higher than the metabolic rate measured at 25 $\degree$C in winter.
E) the same as the metabolic rate measured at 10 $\degree$C in summer.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In seasonal metabolic compensation, organisms adjust their metabolic rates to maintain function across different temperatures. In winter, the frog's metabolic rate at 10°C would be higher than in summer to compensate for the colder environment.
