an average adult cheetah has a metabolic mass of 44,010 grams and a resting metabolic rate of 61.77 joules per second. is this information to add a data point for the cheetah to figure 2. based on the data, would u characterize the cheetah as an ectotherm or endotherm? support ur answer with evidence from the graph.

"Plot the cheetah’s point slightly above those of the

chimpanzee and dog, as indicated by the blue star to the right. They

should conclude that a cheetah is an endotherm because its position

on the graph is similar to those of the other endotherms."

same answer as the person above me :o..

Briefly describe other data you could collect to provide additional evidence for whether the cheetah is an: ectotherm or an endotherm:

"Student answers may vary. They may suggest measuring the internal body temperature of a cheetah in a range of external temperatures. If the body temperature of the cheetah stays relatively constant, this would provide more evidence that the cheetah is an endotherm."
