What term means controlling body temperature within a narrow range from the inside through biochemical or physical means?
[ "endothermy", "regulation", "evaporation", "exothermy" ]
A
Both mammals and birds evolved endothermy. Endothermy means controlling body temperature within a narrow range from the inside through biochemical or physical means. For example, on a cold day, an endotherm may produce more body heat by increasing its rate of metabolism. On a hot day, it may give off more heat by incre...
