Answer 1

An organism that is classified as an ectotherm often uses behavioral adaptations to control body temperature.

Ectotherms, also known as "cold-blooded" animals, rely on environmental heat sources and behavioral strategies (such as basking in the sun or seeking shade) to regulate their body temperature, rather than generating their own heat like endotherms.
