Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lizards and snakes are ectotherms, meaning that they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. By positioning themselves in the sun, they can increase their body temperature and become more active. The other options are not applicable to lizards and snakes, as they are not homeotherms (organisms that can regulate their internal body temperature), endotherms (organisms that generate internal heat to regulate their body temperature), heterotherms (organisms that can switch between different modes of temperature regulation), or poikilotherms (organisms that have variable internal body temperatures that fluctuate with their environment).
