What else can I help you with?
Name the form of behavior that allows reptiles to regulate body temperature?
sunbathing
What is the Temperature of a Burmese Python?
Burmese pythons are reptiles, and therefore cannot regulate their body temperature as we can. Their body temperature depends entirely on their environment.
What are poikolothermic animals?
it is an animal that's body temperature varies according to the temperature of its surroundings mainly fish and reptiles, it does not apply to birds or mammals as they are able to regulate there body temperature, were as reptiles for example will be the temperature of there surrounding this is why they have to bask in the sun to get warm.
What of these organism is endothermic?
Birds and mammals are endothermic organisms, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally. This is in contrast to ectothermic organisms, like reptiles and amphibians, which rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature.
Are reptiles homeothermic?
Reptiles are poikilothermic, poikilothermic means that they can not regulate heat internally.This is why they are cold blooded and need to bask in the sun regularly to maintain body temperature
What helps fish and reptiles regulate their body temperature physically and behaviorally?
Fish and reptiles both regulate their body temperature behaviorally by going to areas where the temperature fits their biochemical needs, eg. sunning on rocks to raise temperature, etc. Some fish and reptiles also hibernate when temperatures get too cold.
Why is a reptiles body temperature always the same as that of it's surroundings?
They're cold-blooded and can't regulate it themselves
If the outdoor temperature increases by 10c what will happen to a reptiles body temperature?
Reptiles are cold blooded and require the atmospheric heat to regulate their internal body temperature. If the outside temperature were to decrease by 20 c the internal temperature of the reptile would decrease 20C.
What category of animal is a turtle?
They are all reptiles, so reptiles and amphibians, as the two groups are usually lumped together.
Is there a place where there aren't any reptiles?
Antarctica. It's too cold for cold blooded animals to regulate their body temperature
What make reptiles distinctive?
Reptiles are cold blooded (cannot regulate body temperature) animals. Reptiles are vertebrates (with a backbone). Their bodies are covered with scales or scutes. They lay eggs. Reptiles skin is tough, rough and scaly.
The body temperatures of what organisms change with fluctuations in environmental temperature?
Ectothermic organisms, such as reptiles and amphibians, have body temperatures that fluctuate with changes in environmental temperature. They rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.
