How do ectotherms control their body temperature?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Ectotherms use various behavioral responses in order to regulate body temperature. They
may move between shaded and sunny regions or orient their bodies towards or away from
the sun. They may also use physiological activities such as vibrating large muscles in a
mechanism similar to shriving in humans.
