Answer:

c) Invests little energy in temperature regulation

Explanation:

Ectothermic animals are the organisms which are dependent on the external sources of heat in order to regulate their internal body temperature. In these organisms the mechanism for the regulation of heat through internal physiological process is absent. Due to such feature they don't need to spend energy to maintain the body heat in cool environment and thus they can operate at a very economical metabolic rate. And thus they became enable to survive for longer even in the condition of food deprivation.

Answer:

<h2>C </h2>

Explanation:

1. Ectotherm: Ectotherm are cold-blooded animall whose regulation of body temperature depends on external sources, such as sunlight and many other environmental factors.

2. They do not maintain their body temperature by self, so their body temperature changes  externally.

3. They are also known as cold blooded animals.

3.They invests little energy in temperature regulation.

4. Example of  ectotherms:  include the fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Parapatric speciation  

Explanation:

There are different types of speciation. Parapatric speciation consists of new species evolving from a continuous distribution. That is, there is no physical barrier that might impede the gene flow,  in fact, it might continue during the speciation process.  

There is an environmental gradient that determines different phenotypes for different environmental conditions. One phenotype is more adapted to one of the distribution extremes than the other phenotype. In the exposed case, the environmental gradient is given by the differences in pH.

In the border between the environmental extremes, there is the primary hybrid zone, where both phenotypic forms might meet and hybridize.
