Ectothermic vertebrates are animals that cannot maintain their own internal body heat, and their body heat is a lot like their environments temperature. Oh and they have a backbone. On the other side, ENDOTHERMS CAN control their internal body heat and differ depending on their environment's temperature.
Not exclusively; Most invertibrates are ectotherms, whereas only some vertibrates are ectotherms. We are vertibrates, and yet we are endotherms. Starfish are invertibrates, and are ectotherms. Snakes are vertibrates, and yet they are ectotherms. I can't think of any invertibrates that are not ectotherms, but there may be some. Basically, ectothermy is common among all of the different groups of animals. In fact, endothermy is only truly common among two groups; mammalia and aves.
Any animal with a spine that is dependent on external sources of heat, such as a lizard
Animals that cannot maintain their own internal body heat.
snakes lizerds alligators and crocdiles turtles
yes a whal is
No. They are vertebrates, but Leopard frogs are ectothermic, not endothermic. All frogs are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Frogs are amphibians, and all amphibians are ectothermic, as are fish and reptiles. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.
Reptiles
Fishes, amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic while mammals and birds are endothermic.
Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Fish are ecothermic, aquatic vertebrates. Amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic vertebrates. Birds and mammals are endothermic vertebrates.
Most members of class Amphibia are ectothermic , Class itself can't be ectothhermic .
Ectothermic animals have an internal body temperature that changes with the temperature of its surroundings. A vertebrate is an animal with a backbone. A warmblooded animal has a constant internal temperature so WARM-BLOODED ANIMALS ARE NOT THE SAME AS ECTOTHERMS.
No. A rabbit is endothermic. "Endo" means "internal" and "therm" means "heat." A rabbit regulates its body temperature internally through its metabolism. Ectothermic vertebrates (colloquially known as "cold-blooded" vertebrates) use the external environment to regulate their temperature. For example, a snake (ectothermic) basks in the sun to stay warm and retreats under shade to stay cool. Rabbits and snakes are vertebrates because they have spines. An example of an invertebrate would be a jellyfish.
they are ectothermic
Ectothermic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its ectothermic
Newts are Ectothermic
newts are ectothermic
