重复20211128旧题

Subject: Biology

Title: Keeping Body Temperature

Abstract: Scientists usually divide animals into two categories: Poikilotherm (/ˈpɒɪkɪlə(ʊ)ˌθɜːm/ n. 变温动物)， whose body temperatures vary with surrounding environment, and Homoeotherm (/ˈhəʊmɪəʊˌθɜːm/n. 温血动物，恒温动物), whose body temperatures remain independent from surrounding environment. Under this category, animals ability to regulate temperatures depends on heat conductance of environment. Later, scientists find some defects on this sorting technique, and divide animals into two categories from a new perspective: endotherm and ectotherm, depending on whether the species has an internal heat source. But the latter sorting technique also has its own defects.
