Answer 1

The statement that is true is:

Ectotherms cannot insulate (stop heat loss from) their bodies but can only control their body temperature by changing location.

Ectotherms, such as reptiles and amphibians, rely on external environmental conditions to regulate their body temperature, and they do not have the physiological mechanisms to insulate their bodies against heat loss like endotherms (warm-blooded animals) do.
