Accepted Answer

Ectotherms mostly rely on outside heat sources, and the environment's temperature affects their body temperature. Animals radiate heat into the environment, conduct heat (sometimes assisted by convection), and evaporate heat.Ectotherms, such as lizards and snakes, adopt the temperature of their surroundings rather than producing metabolic heat to keep themselves warm.There are four ways that heat can be transferred between an animal and its surroundings: radiation, evaporation, convection, and conduction.Ectotherms (reptiles and amphibians) mostly rely on their surroundings to control their body temperature. Endotherms, such as birds, can control their body temperatures by generating heat inside. To know more about Ectothermshttps://brainly.com/question/13871042#SPJ4
