Explanation / Answer
Animals are generally classified into the following types
Ectotherms: Animals that receive heat primarily from external sources (reptiles, amphibians, and fish).
Endotherms: Animals that create their own heat (mammals and birds).
Lizards being reptiles regulate their body temperature by gaining or losing in the surrounding environment.
Heat can be gained or lost by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction means that heat can be transferred between two objects that are touching. Convection means that heat can be transferred between objects and the liquid or gas that surrounds them. Radiation means that absorption of electromagnetic waves ( sunlight) can cause heat.
