The correct answer is:
- Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
- This statement is correct. Warm-blooded animals have the ability to regulate their internal body temperature, allowing them to remain active in cold environments where cold-blooded animals may struggle due to their reliance on external sources of heat for temperature regulation.
- This statement is also correct. Cold-blooded animals typically have lower metabolic rates and require much less energy to survive compared to warm-blooded animals, which need to maintain a constant internal body temperature through metabolic processes that require more energy.

Statement Analysis
Statement 1: Warm-blooded animals can remain active in cold environment in which cold-blooded animals can hardly move.
Statement 2: Cold-blooded animals require much less energy to survive than warm-blooded animals.
Explanation
2 only is the correct answer. Let's analyze both statements.
Statement 1 is partially correct. Warm-blooded animals have the ability to regulate their body temperature, which means they can maintain a constant body temperature in any environment. Cold-blooded animals, on the other hand, cannot regulate their body temperature and depend on the environment to maintain their body temperature. Therefore, in a cold environment, cold-blooded animals become less active as their body temperature drops. However, warm-blooded animals can remain active in cold environments because they can increase their metabolic rate to generate heat and maintain their body temperature.
Statement 2 is correct. Cold-blooded animals are ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. This allows them to use much less energy than warm-blooded animals, which are endothermic and rely on internal heat production to maintain their body temperature. Cold-blooded animals can survive for long periods without food because their metabolic rate is much lower than warm-blooded animals.
Conclusion
In summary, statement 1 is partially correct, and statement 2 is correct. Cold-blooded animals require much less energy to survive than warm-blooded animals.
Consider the following statements:1. Warm-blooded animals can remain a...
Warm blooded animals can survive at any temperature
maintain a constant temperature irrespective of surrounding temp
cold blooded animals get colder with cold
cold-blooded animals require less energy to survive than warm-blooded animals do, because much of the energy that drives their metabolism comes from their surroundings.
