Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Animals that hibernate during a cold season are called heterotherms because they have the ability to lower their metabolic rate and body temperature to conserve energy and survive the winter. Endotherms and ectotherms are terms used to describe how animals regulate their body temperature, while regulators and metabolic activators are not relevant to hibernation.
