Ectothermic poikilotherms can allocate more metabolic energy into body temperature regulation compared to endothermic homeotherms.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ectothermic poikilotherms rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature and generally do not allocate metabolic energy for body temperature regulation, unlike endothermic homeotherms which use metabolic processes to maintain a constant internal body temperature.
