Question
Chapter 47, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The biologists classified animals on the basis of both, the heat source which is used to warm their body surfaces and the particular ability of animals to maintain their body temperature. They can be categorized under ectothermic, endothermic, heterothermic, and homeothermic animals.

An ectotherm is an organism that derives very little of its body temperature internally, and relies on the environment for heat. An endotherm is an organism that maintains its own body at a metabolically favorable temperature by internal means. Question: How does temperature affect endotherms and ectotherms differently?
