Reptiles
It means their body temperature of an animal is the same as the environment they are around.
When an animal's body resembles its environment, it is said to have camouflage.
the same as 'warm-blooded', so an animal that can keep it's core body temperature fairly constant whatever the temperature of the surrounding environment.
The body temperature of an endothermic animal will remain relatively constant as its metabolism generates heat to maintain a stable internal temperature, regardless of changes in the environment's temperature. However, in extreme cold conditions, the animal may need to increase its metabolic rate or seek shelter to prevent excessive heat loss.
they are ectothermic because their body temp. is the same as their environment.
No. An animal's personality comes from its experience in life, the environment it is in and its genetics.
A cold blooded animal (also called an ectotherm)
Ectotherm- an animal whose body temperature changes with the temperature of its surrounding environment. Endotherm- an animal whose body temperature does not change with its surrounding environment. Ectotherms are animals like snakes and lizards that change their body temp with the ambient temperature. Endotherms are humans and other mammals like birds that keep there body temperature the same no matter what the climate is like. The process of homeostasis regulates our body temperature through negative feedback. For example, when our body temperature decreases due to the cold environment, we shiver to increase the body temperature. When the body temperature increases, we sweat to decrease the body temperature.
cold-blooded
no im afraid not.
A scorpion has the same temperature as the environment.
The environment is useful for animals as it is an animal's natural habitat. It's the same with humans.
