What would be the main disadvantage to the poikilothermic thermoregulation strategy? Their body temperatures can fluctuate with little to no adverse effects to their overall health These animals can not inhabit environments with extreme temperatures (i.e. very hot or very cold) Since they do not rely on their metabolism to generate thermal energy, they do not have to eat each day They must keep their internal body temperature higher than the ambient temperature, because if not their enzymes will not function properly
