ExplanationA.True. The metabolic rate of species IV was positively related to the changes intemperature of the external environment.B.True. Species Ⅱ showed the least fluctuation in metabolic rate in response to thechanges of environmental temperature. This means that species II had the highestthermo-insulating ability among the five species.C.True. The basal metabolic rate is the minimum metabolic rate to maintain thebasal function of the cells and the bodies. Among the five species above, species 111had the highest minimum metabolic rate.D.False. Species V was an ectotliermic animal whose the increase in bodytemperature was mainly dependent on the increase in temperature of externalenvironment.References1. D.
