1. Is the body temperature of cats influenced by the ambient temperature? Provide data to support your answer.

The line showing the cat body temperature (on the y-axis) as a function of ambient temperature (on the x-axis) shows a very slight increase. For this reason, you could say that cats’ body temperature is influenced by the ambient temperature. However, the effect is very, very small. Over an increase of about 17°C, cats’ body temperature rises by only one or two degrees. For this reason, it would be more accurate to say that cats’ body temperature is almost completely unaffected by ambient temperature.
