What is the difference between cold blooded and warm blooded vertebrates?

Warm blooded animals generate their own heat through their metabolism.
Cold blooded animals need warmth of the environment to bring their bodily temperature to normal temp.
The main difference between a cold-blooded animal and a warmblooded one is that the warmblooded one has a physiology that includes mechanisms that heat and keep the body warm. The cold-blooded animal lacks these things and its body temperature will change in response to the weather (hot sun, snow) and what the animal can do to avoid the effects of that weather (like a lizard sunning on a rock early in the moring or hiding in the shade at noon).
Warm blooded animals have a constant temperature, and can live in cold temperatures. Cold blooded animal's blood temperature depends on their environment's temperature.

∙ 12y agoAll vertebrates are either cold-blodded or warmblooded.Warm-blooded means that the animal's body stays the same no mater what the temperature of its surroundings are. Most warmblooded animals sweat cool off, or gain fat to keep warm.
Cold-blooded animal's body temperatures change depending on their surroundings. In other words, if a cold-blooded animals surroundings are cold, then the animal's body temperature will become cold as well.

What blood do insects have (warm or cold)?
AnswerCold blooded, along with reptlies and amphibians. Cold-blooded animals are now called ectotherms, for the term cold-blooded is misleading. Cold-blooded organisms maintain their body temperatures in ways different from mammals and birds. The term is now outdated in scientific contexts. Cold-blooded creatures were, initially, presumed to be incapable of maintaining their body temperatures at all. They were presumed to be "slaves" to their environments. Whatever the environmental temperature was, so too was their body temperature.
