Are humans ectothermic or endothermic?
We are Endothermic, An ectotherm, from the Greek ????? (ektós) "outside" and ?????? (thermós) "hot", refers to organisms that control body temperature through external means. As a result, organisms are dependent on environmental heat sources and have relatively low metabolic rates. For example, many reptiles regulate their body temperature by basking in the sun.
