ectotherms
A bird is a warmblooded animal because it's body temperature/blood temperature do not match the temperature of the environment is in. A shark is cold-blooded because it's body temperature changes with the water it's in.
Yes.
the body temperature changes because of its surroundings
Ectotherm- an animal whose body temperature changes with the temperature of its surrounding environment. Endotherm- an animal whose body temperature does not change with its surrounding environment. Ectotherms are animals like snakes and lizards that change their body temp with the ambient temperature. Endotherms are humans and other mammals like birds that keep there body temperature the same no matter what the climate is like. The process of homeostasis regulates our body temperature through negative feedback. For example, when our body temperature decreases due to the cold environment, we shiver to increase the body temperature. When the body temperature increases, we sweat to decrease the body temperature.
Cold blooded animals cannot regulate their own body temperature. Therefore, it changes with their environment.
Ectotherms their body temperature changes with the environment
ectotherms
An exotherm.
cold-blooded
It means their body temperature of an animal is the same as the environment they are around.
it normally stays the same
