Ectotherms and endotherms must both keep their internal temperatures as steady as possible. An ectotherm, like a snake, might get warm by laying out in the sun. Meanwhile, an endotherm, like a person, can get warm anywhere because people stay warm from the inside.
endotherms (mammals, birds) make there own heat energy, so they often eat more than ectotherms (reptiles, insects, fish, amphibians), which can't make there own heat and thus have to rely on the surrounding environment for heat. that is why you'll often find reptiles basking in the sun.
Endothermic = warm-blooded
Ectothermic = cold-blooded
Endotherms are able to maintain their own body temperature, whereas Ectotherms rely on their environment to regulate body temperature. Ectotherms are animals like reptiles, fish, etc. Reptiles lay out in the sun in order to keep themselves warm and to aid in digestion. Humans are endotherms.
They are endotherms
The black bear is endothermic
endothermic
Endotherm.
Ectotherms their body temperature changes with the environment
Endotherms are warmblooded, ectotherms are coldblooded, so amphibians are ectotherms.
Salamanders are endotherms.
No, a dolphin is a mammal and all mammals are endotherms.
birds mammals fish(also ectotherms)
All mammals are endothermic (warm blooded). Ectotherms are cold blooded animals like snakes and lizards.
Endothermic.
A starfish is a ectotherm. (ectotherm means cold blooded)
