<span>Endotherms</span> <span>require</span> <span>a higher
metabolic rate</span> <span>than</span> <span>ectotherms</span>. This is because <span>endotherms</span> maintain a <span>regular/</span> constant body temperature while <span>ectotherms</span> depend on the heat in the <span>environment</span> to regulate body <span>temperature</span>.
Therefore, <span>endotherms</span> must eat regularly to
maintain this metabolic rate and <span>sustain</span> <span>constant</span> temperatures.
