Ectotherms

The video explains ectotherms, animals that rely on external heat sources to regulate body temperature. It covers how they exchange heat with the environment, their lack of hair or feathers, and behavioral adaptations like seeking warmth for digestion or hibernating in cold. The video contrasts ectotherms with endotherms, which generate their own heat.

Explain the concept of conduction in the context of ectotherms.

How do ectotherms differ from endotherms in terms of temperature regulation?
