What are the costs and benefits associated with endothermy and ectothermy?
Which statement regarding thermoregulation is TRUE?
ectotherms thermoregulate by moving between sunny and shady locations whereas endotherms do not thermoregulate
endotherms thermoregulate by producing heat through metabolic reactions whereas ectotherms do not thermoregulate
ectotherms and endotherms both thermoregulate, but they do it through different methods
Describe thermoregulation of endothermic and ectothermic animals
