There are two main types of thermoregulatory organisms: endotherms and ectotherms. What is the difference between the two?
- Endotherms change their body temperature internally by their metabolism, whereas ectotherms maintain their body heat by absorbing it from the environment.
- Ectotherms change their body temperature internally by their metabolism, whereas endotherms maintain their body heat by absorbing it from the environment.
- Both endotherms and ectotherms regulate their body heat internally, though they do so using different biological mechanisms.
