Heterotherms differ from endotherms in that only heterotherms

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heterotherms can sometimes behave as endotherms and at other times as ectotherms, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally or rely on external sources of heat to maintain their body temperature. This is in contrast to endotherms, which regulate their body temperature internally, and ectotherms, which rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Option B describes ectotherms, not heterotherms. Option C describes homeotherms, not heterotherms. Option D doesn't make sense in this context.
