Which statement about endotherms and ectotherms is correct?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

3.  Endotherms spend more energy on internal temperature regulation compared to ectotherms.

Explanation:

Ectotherms, are considered  as cold-blooded animals (reptiles and amphibians),  and are organisms that don't have the ability to generate enough heat to keep themselves warm. Endotherms, in contrast, do possess the ability to generate their own body heat.

Endotherms also called warm blooded animals  (mammals) have the ability to regulate their body temperature by themselves. If the endotherms are in a cold place their body increases the metabolism and generates more heat. This will compensate for the cold outside.

Can someone please do a summary on how wind works? 7-9 sentences please I will mark brainliest!
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Wind is the movement of air. It forms when air moves from areas of high-pressure to areas of low pressure. These pressure differences are caused by temperature differences on Earth's surface. The movement is a result of different places on Earth receiving different amounts of energy from the sun. Two types of winds are global and local. Global wind systems determine weather patterns for the entire planet. Local winds are sea and land breezes that occur due to uneven absorption of solar energy.
