No, in most cases it isn't endothermic. Metabolism, based on the Krebs Cycle, is a biochemical reaction which creates Adenosine Triphosphate, also known as ATP and Energy. Energy is in fact exothermic.

Is food thermal energy?
No the body metabolizes it into thermal energy called calories
Are birds ectothermic or endothermic?
Birds are endothermic. Reptiles are ectothermic and are referred to as "cold-blooded."
What is necessary in order for a mammal to be endothermic?
Mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded) because they can create their own body heat by metabolizing food, as heat is generated by the oxidation of food molecules.
Which type of tissue metabolizes food faster?
Muscle tissue metabolizes food the fastest when it is used for a decent period of time (longer than 10 seconds).
Are squirrels Endothermic or Exothermic?
Endothermic because they self-regulate their body heat.
What is the process by which the body metabolizes and uses nutrients is known as?
digestion
Is a spider monkey endothermic?
Chimpanzees are endothermic. Endothermic animals make their own heat. The heat they produce inside their bodies comes from energy from food. An endothermic animal's body engine works hard to keep its body the right temperature for activity all the time. When the outside temperature is too hot, an endothermic animal can cool off by sweating or panting. The cost an endothermic animal pays for this inside body heat system is that it must eat much more often than an ectothermic animal.
Is a long tailed weasel endothermic or ectothermic?
Endothermic an animal that creates its own body heat. Mammals are endothermic.
Is an elephant endothermic or ectothermic?
A horse is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
How is the thyroid helpful to your body?
The thyroid controls how every single cell in the body metabolizes energy.
Is an eagle endothermic?
Yes, owls are endothermic as they maintain a stable body temperature.
Is a maned wolf endothermic or ectothermic?
Yes. A wolf is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
