Question

question 8
which of the following correctly describes an ectotherm?
maintains a constant body temperature regardless of environment
relies on external conditions to regulate body temperature
generates heat internally through metabolism
has fur or feathers for insulation
can sweat to cool down

Explanation:

Ectotherms rely on external conditions to regulate their body temperature. They cannot generate heat internally through metabolism like endotherms. Sweating to cool down is a mechanism in some endotherms. Having fur or feathers for insulation is also a trait of endotherms. Maintaining a constant body temperature regardless of the environment is characteristic of endotherms.

Answer:

Relies on external conditions to regulate body temperature
