What is the difference between endothermic and ectothermic animals and can you give me an example? Will give medal (:
ENDOTHERMIC ANIMALS:-Definition:-Endothermic animals are basically warm blooded animals.They CAN maintain their body temperature with that of the environment. Characteristics:- They can generate heat in their bodies themselves.They maintain their body temperature by regulating their metabolic rates, such as increasing their metabolic rate when the atmospheric temperature begins to decrease. Examples:- Examples of endothermic animals are:-BirdsMammalsECTOTHERMIC/EXOTHERMIC ANIMALS:- Definition:-Exothermic animals are basically cold-blooded animals. They CANNOT maintain their body temperature with that of the environment. Characteristics:- They cannot generate their own body heat.Examples:- FishReptilesAmphibiansWays of adjusting internal temperatures:-Many cold-blooded animals use behavioral means to adjust their internal temperatures: Lizards and snakes bask in the sun in the early morning and late evening, and seek shelter around noon.Many species of bees and moths flap their wings vigorously to raise the temperature of their flight muscles before taking off.
