A Comparative Analysis of Ectothermy vs. Endothermy in Organisms

Ectotherms regulate body temperature externally, relying on environmental heat sources, while endotherms produce heat internally. Ectotherms like reptiles and fish have advantages such as lower metabolic rates and food requirements, while endotherms like birds and mammals have higher energy needs du

Understanding Thermoregulation in Animals and Humans

Thermoregulation is the process of regulating body temperature in organisms. It can be seen in two types of animals - ectothermic and endothermic. Ectothermic animals rely on external energy sources to maintain body temperature, while endothermic animals use internal metabolic energy. The skin plays
