Most bats are inactive during the day (this is known as torpor) and feed during the night. The graph ...

After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.

Most bats are inactive during the day (this is known as torpor) and feed during the night. The graph below shows hypothetical data for a bat species.

Based on this graph, what is the relationship between metabolic rate and body temperature?

▸ When metabolic rate drops, body temperature remains constant.

▸ When metabolic rate drops, body temperature rises.

▸ When metabolic rate drops, so does body temperature.

Why does the relationship between metabolic rate and temperature exist?

▸ Cellular respiration causes the body to cool because all the energy is used to make ATP.

▸ Cellular respiration requires organisms to take in heat energy.

▸ A by-product of cellular respiration is heat.

Bats contain brown fat between their shoulder blades. How could this brown fat be an adaptation to torpor?

▸ It is not an adaptation; white fat is what they need to produce heat.

▸ Brown fat can produce heat and ATP through fermentation.

▸ The mitochondria in brown fat can produce heat without making ATP.

▸ Brown fat has many mitochondria, so it can produce more ATP.
