Animals that are not endotherms are typically ectotherms, meaning they rely on external environmental conditions to regulate their body temperature. This group includes reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates like insects and crustaceans. Unlike endotherms, ectotherms do not generate sufficient internal heat and often bask in the sun or seek shade to maintain their optimal temperature.

Are exothermic animals cold blooded?

Yes, they are. The opposite exothermic animals are "endotherms." Endotherms can produce enough heat from chemical reactions within the body to maintain a constant body temperature, while exothermic animals depend on the external temperature.

Are amphibians endotherms?

endotherms are the animals (or whatever) that have internal metabolic means for regulating their constant body temperature . but amphibians have to keep themselves in an environment that match their body temperature. so they are ectotherms and not endotherms. they maintain their body temp. by changing their exposure to sunlight, contact with ground, and hibernation etc


Compare and contrast endotherms and ectotherm?

Endothermic animals rely on themselves to produce their own heat. Ectothermic animals, however, must rely on the sun to keep their body heat up.


Are toy poodles endotherms or ectotherms?

All mammals are endothermic (warm blooded). Ectotherms are cold blooded animals like snakes and lizards.


Are cheetahs ectothermic or endothermic?

They are endothermic, because ectothermic dosent have to do with any mammals. :)


What is the opposite of ectotherms?

The opposite of ectothermic is endothermic. Ectotherms maintain their body temperature by behavior rather than metabolism. Endotherms maintain a warm, consistent body temperature with the use of energy.
