lämpösäätely
Lämpösäätely, or thermoregulation in English, refers to the biological processes that allow an organism to maintain its core body temperature within a certain range, even when the surrounding temperature is different. This is a crucial aspect of homeostasis, the ability of a living system to maintain stability.
In warm-blooded animals, including mammals and birds, thermoregulation is an active process. They generate internal heat
Cold-blooded animals, like reptiles and amphibians, rely more on external sources of heat. Their body temperature
Plants also exhibit forms of temperature regulation, though less complex than in animals. They can adjust leaf
