Ectotherms, such as reptiles, rely on their external environment for temperature. Their body temperatures fluctuate with changing conditions. They do however have mechanisms to change their temperature, such as sitting in the sun or reducing physical activity.
The older term for ectotherms is 'cold blooded' - however, this is not commonly used anymore because often ectotherms can have body temperatures much higher than endotherms.
Endotherms, such as humans, have internal control mechanisms for body temperature. This means that despite changes in environmental temperature, their body temperatures are maintained within a narrow range.

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions different?
Exothermic reaction: with release of heat Endothermic reaction: with absorption of heat
How are exothermic reation different from endothermic reaction?
Exothermic reaction: with release of heat Endothermic reaction: with absorption of heat
Is class agnatha endothermic or ecothermic?
Its Chondrichthyans and it depends on the species. Mostly they are ectothermic but a small number of exceptions exist. Some sharks, like the thresher shark, can warm parts of its body some what, this means a few C above water temperature not like how warm blooded animals regulate temperature. So in short.Ectothermic.
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Is a maned wolf endothermic or ectothermic?
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.
Is the African red worm endothermic or ecothermic?
ecothermic
Is a jellyfish ectothermic or endothermic?
Ecothermic because jellyfish aren't warm blooded
What are the five verebrates groups each called?
Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Fish are ecothermic, aquatic vertebrates. Amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic vertebrates. Birds and mammals are endothermic vertebrates.
What three types of vertebrates are ecothermic?
Snakes
What is the different between endothermic and endothermic?
The difference between endothermic and exothermic energy is that exothermic energy is the reaction that releases energy and endothermic is the reaction in ehich energy is absorbed.
What does endothermic do?
An endothermic reaction is a reaction that absorbs heat. This is different from an exothermic reaction, such as combustion, which releases heat.
How are exothermic and endothermic reactions different?
Exothermic reaction: with release of heat Endothermic reaction: with absorption of heat
Why do reptiles absorb heat from the sun?
They are Ecothermic so their temp. depends on their surroundings
How are endothermic reaction different from exothermic reaction?
Exothermic reaction: with release of heat Endothermic reaction: with absorption of heat
How are exothermic reation different from endothermic reaction?
Exothermic reaction: with release of heat Endothermic reaction: with absorption of heat
How are exothermic and exothermic reaction are different and how are they the same?
Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.
