A20-gram ectothermic organism and a 20-gram endothermic organism are placed together in a small, enclosed cage. the cage is held at a temperature of 32°c for one hour. then, the temperature of the cage is raised to 45°c. which of the following would you expect to be true after one hour at 45°c? the metabolic rate of both organisms would increase. the metabolic rate of both organisms would remain unchanged. the metabolic rate of the ectothermic organism would increase, and the metabolic rate of the endothermic organism would decrease. the metabolic rate of the ectothermic organism would increase, and the metabolic rate of the endothermic organism would remain unchanged.

The correct answer is the option "The metabolic rate of the ectothermic organism would increase, and the metabolic rate of the endothermic organism would remain unchanged"

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

First we will define what ectothermia and endothermia means.

Ectothermic is a living being that regulates its temperature according to the external temperature.

Endothermic is a living being that regulates its internal temperature regardless of the ambient temperature.

After this analysis we will conclude that the correct answer is the option "The metabolic rate of the ectothermic organism would increase, and the metabolic rate of the endothermic organism would remain unchanged"
