Solution
Ectotherms:
These organisms depend on external sources(heated rocks, sunlight, etc) for the regulation of body temperature.
They are also known as cold-blooded organisms.
Example- fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates.
Poikilotherms:
These organisms
cannot regulate their body temperature except by behavioral means such as basking or burrowing.
They derive their body heat entirely from their environment.
Example- Fishes, amphibians, reptiles, & invertebrates.
Therefore, poikilotherms & ectotherms are synonymous.
