Question 12

define

Reproduction

for animals

Answer 12

• Many invertebrates can also reproduce asexually-increase population size faster

Question 13

Body temperature regulations

Endotherm

Define and give examples

Answer 13

• Endotherm: maintains constant body temperature despite environmental changes
• example: humans, mammals, birds
