what are ectotherms? what animals fall in this category?
|
depend on external heat sources to maintain body temperature; most animals aside from mammals and birds fall in this category
|
|
what are endotherms? what animals fall in this category?
|
regulate body temperature by generating metabolic heat/preventing heat loss
mammals/birds |
