Which of the following is an advantage of endothermy over ectothermy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endotherms can regulate their body temperature internally and stay active even in colder environments, whereas ectotherms rely on external sources of heat and become sluggish in cool temperatures. This allows endotherms to move quickly even in colder conditions, giving them an advantage in many situations. Option A, B, and D are incorrect as endotherms actually require more food and energy compared to ectotherms to maintain their high metabolic rate and internal body temperature. Option E is also incorrect as it combines two separate advantages (speed and energy efficiency) that are not necessarily both true for all endotherms.
