    Which Animal is a ectotherm?

    • A Bird or mammal

    • A Turtle, snake or other reptile.

    Correct Answer
    A. A Turtle, snake or other reptile.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A Turtle, snake or other reptile. This is because ectotherms are animals that rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. Reptiles, such as turtles and snakes, are ectotherms as they cannot generate their own body heat and instead rely on the environment to warm their bodies. Birds and mammals, on the other hand, are endotherms, meaning they can generate their own body heat internally.

    Most birds have lost the ability to

    Correct Answer
    fly
    Explanation
    Most birds have lost the ability to fly. This is because they have evolved in different environments and adapted to various lifestyles. Some birds, such as penguins and ostriches, have evolved to be flightless due to their aquatic or terrestrial habitats. These birds have developed other means of locomotion, such as swimming or running, to compensate for their inability to fly. Additionally, certain bird species that live on islands with no natural predators have lost their ability to fly as they do not need to escape from danger. Overall, the loss of flight in most birds is a result of evolutionary adaptation to their specific environments and lifestyles.
