What is the difference between endotherms and homeotherms?
Endotherms thermoregulate to maintain their stable internal environment while homeotherms warm tissues with metabolic production to maintain high core, internal temperatures.
Endotherms warm tissues with metabolic production to maintain high core internal temps, while homeotherms thermoregulate to maintain a stable internal environment
Endotherms require sufficient energy from their environment to maintain their temperatures, while homeotherms do not.
None of the above
