Which statement is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many insects, such as bees and moths, use their flight muscles for thermoregulation. These muscles can generate heat during flight by contracting rapidly and producing metabolic heat.

Answer: C 
 Honey bee workers can reduce their metabolic heat loss by clustering together in a hive during winter months. This allows them to conserve energy and maintain a stable temperature within the hive.

Answer: E 
 Marine iguanas are able to digest their food more efficiently at lower body temperatures. This allows them to maximize their food intake during periods of low food availability, such as during the winter months.

The other statements are incorrect:
B) Most ectotherms have limited ability to regulate their body temperature (they rely on behavioral adaptations like seeking shelter or basking in the sun to adjust their body temperature).
D) Heart rate typically increases as body temperature rises (not the other way around).
