See Concept 40.4 (Page) determined when the organism is vigorously exercising after consuming a fatty meal the total amount of energy an animal uses in a unit of time typically higher in an ectothermic animal than in an endothermic one the amount of heat gained by an animal in a unit of time directly proportional to body size

The correct answer is ''the total amount of energy an animal uses in a unit of time''

Explanation:

The general metabolism or metabolic requirements can be defined as the energy demands that an organism requires for the set of biochemical reactions and physicochemical processes that occur in its cells. This set of reactions allows living beings to grow, reproduce, keep their physical structures in order and respond to external stimuli, among other things. Basal metabolism or Metabolic Rate (BMR) refers to the rate of energy expenditure (the amount of energy [expressed in kilocalories or megajoules (MJ)]) per unit of time that is spent when endothermic animals are in physical rest full. In other words, it is the amount of heat (expressed in calories) that is generated in one hour by an endothermic animal kept at rest. Also, it can be expressed as kilocalories per hour or per kilogram of weight.

a plastic spoon that has a temperature of 78° f is placed into a bowl of soup that has a temperature of 84° f. which of these correctly describes what will happen?

energy as heat moves from the soup to the spoon.
