What else can I help you with?
Are amphibians endotherms?
endotherms are the animals (or whatever) that have internal metabolic means for regulating their constant body temperature . but amphibians have to keep themselves in an environment that match their body temperature. so they are ectotherms and not endotherms. they maintain their body temp. by changing their exposure to sunlight, contact with ground, and hibernation etc
What is the medical term meaning ability of an organism to maintain a relatively constant internal temperature?
Thermoregulation means maintenance of a stable temperature in the body.
What is the mane for the animals that maintain a constant tamperture?
Animals that maintain a constant body temperature are called "endotherms." This means they can regulate their internal body temperature regardless of the external environment. This ability allows them to thrive in a variety of habitats and climates.
Do all organisms have the ability to maintain a constant internal temperature?
Not all organisms have the ability to maintain a constant internal temperature. Cold-blooded organisms like reptiles and amphibians need external sources like the sun to help them maintain a healthy temperature.
Are mammals examples of homeostasis?
A mammal's ability to maintain it's internal body temperature is an example of homeostasis. Without the ability to maintain a constant internal temperature, animals would quickly die.
Is a nereis endothermic?
A endothermic maintain a nearly constant internal body temperature regardless of the temperature of their environment. These animals are called warm- blooded animals.
What kind of body temperature do all vertebrates have?
They have different kinds of temperature. Mammals and birds are what used to be called 'warm blooded', that is they maintain a constant, high internal body temperature largely as a result of respiration. Reptiles, amphibians and fish are ectothermic, (cold blooded), that is they have the same temperature as their surroundings. However there are many individual variations even within the groups.
Does a spider keep its body temperature constant?
No. A spider has no mechanism to maintain its body temperature.
What is it called when an animal maintains a constant internal temperature even when it is cold outside?
It is called homeostasis (internal environment maintained at a constant level) or thermostasis (internal heat maintained at a constant temperature). The overall name for the processes by which temperature is controlled is thermoregulation.
Are mudpuppy endothermic?
Mudpuppies are not endothermic; they are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature is regulated by the environment. As amphibians, they rely on external heat sources to maintain their body temperature, which affects their metabolic processes. This characteristic is common among amphibians, as they typically do not generate internal heat like endothermic animals do.
What homeostasis is AND Why it is important?
It is the property of a system that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition of properties like temperature or pH.
Birds are warm blooded?
Yes, birds are warm bloodedThe terms "warm-blooded" and "cold-blooded" are horribly misleading since we are not trying to refer to the temperature of the animal's blood.Birds are, however, endothermic, meaning that they use their own metabolism to maintain a (relatively) constant body temperature just as mammals do. Many other animals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, etc, are ectothermic, meaning that they rely on the ambient/environmental temperature and thus cannot maintain as stable of an internal temperature.
