Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insects such as bees have variable body temperature, which means they are not endotherms (able to regulate their body temperature internally). They also do not use shivering thermogenesis, which is a mechanism used by endotherms to generate heat through muscle contractions. Therefore, they cannot be considered homeotherms or mesotherms. Instead, they are referred to as heterotherms, which are organisms that can tolerate varying internal body temperatures but are not able to maintain a constant body temperature.
