What else can I help you with?
Do all vertebrates control their own body temperature?
yes they can control their body temperature
Is a jellyfish ectothermic or endothermic?
Ecothermic because jellyfish aren't warm blooded
Control of body temperature is important for maintaining what?
Control of body temperature is important for maintaining homeostasis.
What supports a jellyfish's body?
Water supports a jellyfish's body.
What is the term used to describe animals that can not control their body temperature?
Animals that do not control their body temperature but rather let the environmental temperature control it are called cold-blooded or the technical term is ectotherm.
Control of body temperature is an example of what?
Homeostasis.
What does the sweat gland control?
The sweat glands control body temperature.
How does a turtle control its temperature?
by swimmingThe turtle, a cold blooded animal, does not control its body temperature, It takes on the temperature of its surrounding environment.
What type of animals use the environment to control their body temperature?
All animals use the environment to control their temperature
How do whitetail deer regulate their body temperature in winter?
Their body temperature is controlled by their environment. Mammals are endothermic. Meaning that they control their own body temperature.
Are jellyfish cold blooded animals?
Because box jellyfish, as with all other cnidarians, do not have blood, or a circulatory system, they can not be considered "cold-blooded." However, they are ectotherms whose body temperatures are equal to the temperature of the environment.
Why is it necessary for the testes to be kept above body temperature?
The testicles are outside of the body for temperature control. The sperm develop best when the temperature is lower than the body temperature. If the testicles were kept at body temperature, the sperm would not develop correctly. The body has an ingenious temperature control mechanism, as well, for the testicles. If it is too hot for them, they descend and hang further away from the body. If it is too cold for them, they come up closer to the body!
