What happens to a lizards metabolic rate when the temperatur

What happens to a lizard\'s metabolic rate when the temperature increases 10 Celcius?

A.) The metabolic rate stays constant   B.) The metabolic rate approximately doubles   C.) The metabolic rate approximately triples   D.) The metabolic rate approximately quadruples

Solution

1.Lizards are ectothermic animals.

2.Lizards can\'t be very active in the cold because they have no energy to do so,while at high temperature s they can move fast but must consume food to fuel the metabolic process.

3.Heat rises the metabolic rate of animals by incresing the amount of kineticenergy that is available to cells.

Answer is \"B\". The metabolic rate approximately doubles.
