Question

Poikilotherms are able to allocate more of their energy intake to biomass, while endotherms must expend much of their energy on metabolic temperature maintenance.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

The given statement about the energy intake of 'Poikilotherms' and 'endotherms' is correct.

Hence, True

Explanation:

Poikilotherms are those organism which are incapable of regulating their body temperature and are incapable of  allocating more of their intake of energy to biomass

whereas

Endotherms are the warm blooded organism and are capable of maintaining their body temperature on maintained metabolic temperature level and are capable of expending much energy at these metabolically maintained temperature.
