How can a cold blooded animal evolve into a warm blooded animal?
Cold blooded animal mean,those animals cannot controle their body temperature.They change body temperature as with the environment.eg-Reptiles,fish etc.Warm blooded animals have a constant core body temperature and are able to controle their body temperature.e-all mammals includinh humans.
What term describes an animal with a constant blood temperature?
warm blooded
Is a Dingo cold blooded?
dingoes are endotherms (an animal that can maintain a constant body temperature, regardless of the external temperate) which mean they are warm blooded. They are able to keep their internal temperature relatively stable due to a process called homeostasis.
What do you call an animal that doesn't maintain a constant body temperature?
I believe snakes and frogs can do that.....
Are you cold blooded?
An animal is cold blooded if its temperature stays the same as the air around it. Some warm blooded animals hibernate and their body temperature drops. When they wake up, their body temperature rises. Other animals Such as tuna fish have warm internal temperatures but do not maintain a constant internal temperature. Their close relatives are cold blooded. The Jury is out on what to call them.
What is the body temperature of a colded blooded animal?
Close to its surroundings if its 90 its somewhere near that.cold blooded animals take up the temperature of their surroundings.their body maintains a cold temperature when the environment they are in is cold and vice versa.they are opposite to warmblooded creatures who maintain a constant body temperature on the inside.
Is a Bengal tiger endothermic or ectothermic?
Like all mammals, lions are endothermic, or warm blooded. That means that they maintain a constant, warm body temperature regardless of the temperature of the environment. This means they require more food than a cold blooded animal of an equal size, but they are capable of greater endurance than a cold blooded animal of their size. A lion's body temperature is about 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
A animal that maintain a constant body temperature?
Any warmblooded animal like mammals. Cold-blooded animals rely on surrounding heat to heat their body, that's why you see lizards laying on the rocks in the sun.
How do warm-blooded animals keep their temperatures constant?
Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.
What is different about a warm blooded animal and a cold blooded animal?
Warm blooded animals have internal mechanisms that regulate their body temperature, making them less dependent on the ambient temperature. Cold blooded animals do not have this mechanism and so are more directly influenced by the temperature of the space around them. A warm blooded animal can be highly active in the cold, but requires much more food to maintain such an active metabolism. Cold blooded animals slow down in the cold and become more active when it is warm. Their slower metabolism requires less food, so they can go for longer between meals.
Are reindeer warm or cold blooded?
Reindeer are mammals. Mammals are homeostatic animals which maintain a warm body temperature.
What are warm-blooded or ectothermic vertebrates animals?
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.
