Do dolphins have homeostasis

Answer 1

Technically no. You are a mammal, and your body temperature can fluctuate over the course of a day.

However, they are "endotherms", their body temperature is relatively constant and doesn't usually depend much on the environmental temperature (unless the ambient temperature is too hot ... or too cold ... for the body to compensate for).

Answer 2

Dolphins are, of course, mammals so they control their body temperature in exactly the same way as you: they're warm blooded. The food they eat (mostly fish) contains protein and fat, along with smaller amounts of other nutrients. This food is digested, broken down to simpler and simpler molecules until eventually it is just sugar, from which cells in the body extract ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially pure chemical energy. As you may know, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed into different types. So this chemical energy is converted into various kinds, powering every process in the dolphin's body: heartbeat, thinking, swimming, breathing, swallowing, growing and of course, keeping warm. At least that's how they produce warmth in the first place; keeping warm probably has more to do with their blubber. Blubber is a thinck layer of fat around the dolphin's entire body which helps prevent heat from escaping out into the water. It works in much the same way as a blanket or a fur coat!

Answer 3

They use their circulatory system. The blood flowing through out the body keeps the body fairly warm.

Answer 4

A dolphin's temperature is between 96 and 98 degrees.

Answer 5

No, some have warm temperature and some have cool temperature like polar bear is a mammal but it have cool temperature and like lion it have warm body temperature

Answer 6

A mammal has a body temperature that isn't exactly the same all the time, but that is maintained within a narrow range.

Answer 7

yes they do

Answer 8

yes, dolphins do have homeostasis.
