Pterosaurs are an extinct group of flying reptiles thought to have evolved into modern birds. Modern birds are endothermic (warm-blooded), while modern reptiles are exothermic (cold-blooded). Because endothermic animals have higher metabolisms, they produce more metabolic byproducts, such as advanced lipoxidation end-products (ALEs). Jasmina Wiemann and her colleagues claim that pterosaurs, like birds, were endothermic, unlike other reptiles. To determine whether pterosaurs were endothermic or exothermic, Wiemann and her team measured ALEs in the bones of fossilized pterosaur bones and compared them to similar measurements of modern birds and reptiles.Which finding, if true, would most directly support their claim?Pterosaur bones had levels of ALEs similar to those of modern reptiles.eliminatePterosaur bones had lower levels of ALEs than modern reptiles.eliminatedPterosaur bones had lower levels of ALEs than modern birds.eliminatedPterosaur bones had levels of ALEs similar to those of modern birds.
