The purpose of the experiment was to learn about the thermoregulation‚ and more specifically ectotherms. The experiment was designed to learn how ectotherms rely on external temperature for heat. The hypothesis of the experiment was whether there was temperature variance between two habitats‚ and how it affects the ectotherms. To test the hypothesis‚ we used I-buttons to record the temperature and ANOVA test for p-value. The results supported the hypothesis. Introduction: Thermoregulation is a

Thermoregulation is the process by which the body attempts to maintain a regular internal temperature so that the body processes can take place efficiently. The process ensures an equilibrium system is attained for all the body processes. The body temperature of an average individual is 37˚ C. this temperature fluctuates depending on activities one does. A human being is in constant movement unless they are asleep. As such‚ the temperature may increase or decrease thereby varying from this average
