The example that shows an organism that cannot reach homeostasis through internal changes is:
**A lizard is cold, and it moves to a sunny rock to warm up.**
This is because the lizard is relying on external environmental conditions (the heat from the sun) to regulate its body temperature rather than making internal physiological changes. Lizards are ectothermic (cold-blooded) and do not have the ability to internally regulate their body temperature like mammals do.
