Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Poikilotherms are cold-blooded animals whose body temperature varies directly with the environment. Their body temperature changes with the surrounding temperature. Homeotherms, on the other hand, are warm-blooded animals whose body temperature is regulated internally and remains relatively constant. Psychrotherms, envirotherms, and microtherms are not recognized terms in biology.
