What is an animal that relies on interaction with the environment to control body temperature known as?
A cold blooded animal (also called an ectotherm)
What are organisms that don not regulate their internal condition called and ones that do?
The general name is CONFORMER. If the organism has the ability to regulate, it is called a REGULATOR! If, by condition you mean temperature, then your question may be pertaining to reptiles and amphibians and to mammals. The former, called ECTOTHERMs, are cold blooded and obtain heat from their environment, perhaps by sunning themselves, as a snake might, for example. An ENDOTHERM is an animal that produces most of its own heat metabolically (by changing energy from food into heat), a warm blooded animal, such as yourself.
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.
What are different organisms that cannot regulate their own body temperature?
The name for an animal whose body temperature varies considerably is a poikilotherm. Those animals whose temperature is controlled mainly by their environment are called ectotherms, while those with metabolic regulation are called endotherms.
When living things regulate their internal environment within limits that sustain life what is it called?
homeostatis
Animal's ability to blend with environment is called protective?
An animal's ability to blend with its environment is called protective camouflage. However, if you are not looking for camouflage as an answer, this ability is also called crypsis.

any plant or animal fat that is liquid at room temperature is called unsaturated fat
Is the echidna an ectotherm?
No. Being a mammal, the echidna is an endotherm, or what used to be commonly called "warm-blooded". Endotherms regulate their body temperature via their own metabolism. Ectotherms used to be known as "cold-blooded". Ectotherms rely on the external environment to control their body temperature, and include reptiles and fish.
What is an animal that can't control its internal body temperature called?
The animals that control it internal body is called indpendent animal
An animal's ability to adujust to changing condition in environment is called?
Adaptation.
