One trait that distinguishes the major groups of vertebrates from one another is the way in which they control their body temperature. Most fish, amphibians, and reptiles have body temperatures that are close to the temperature of their environment.
2 Fish, amphibians, and reptiles are ectotherms. An ectotherm is an animal whose body does not produce much internal heat. Its body temperature changes depending on the temperature of the environment. For example, when a turtle is lying in the sun on a riverbank, it has a higher body temperature than when it is swimming in a cool river. Ectotherms are sometimes called "cold-blooded," but that is misleading. The blood of ectotherms is often quite warm.
3 In contrast to the turtle, a beaver would have the same body temperature whether it was in cool water or on warm land. The beaver is an endotherm. An endotherm is an animal whose body controls and regulates its temperature by controlling the internal heat it produces. An endotherm's body temperature usually does not change much, even when the temperature of its environment changes. Mammals and birds are endotherms. They have a stable body temperature that is typically much warmer than their environment. Endotherms are often called "warm-blooded" animals.
endotherm because because dogs ant change their body temperature to the temperature of their environment they are animals who can maintain a stable body temperature internally. so once again a dog is endotherm
It is an endotherm.
A goldfish is an ectotherm.
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Yes. A wolf is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
A duck is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a bird, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
it is an endothermic
Ectotherm
they are endothermic
endothermic (warmblooded)
endothermic
No, they are endothermic
endothermic. meaning they regulate body temp.
It is endothermic
i think they are endothermic. but I'm only a 6th grader
Mitchell's Hopping mouse is endothermic. It is a mammal, and all mammals are endothermic.
endotherm' endotherm'
both endothermic and ectothermic animals must regulate their body temperature
Yes. An emu is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a bird, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
