They are endothermic because ectothermic means they are cold blooded and endothermic means they are warm blooded and we are warm blooded, and an easy way to remember endothermic and ectothermic is eCtothermic has the C in it which stands for cold and then I just know that endothermic is hot because ectothermic is cold. Hope this helps.
What else can I help you with?
Are humans endothermic?
Yes. A human 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.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of homeostasis?
Homeostasis is a property of a system that regulates the its internal environment to maintain a stable, steady-state condition. Homeostatic regulation allows endotherms (e.g, humans) to maintain conditions such as body temperature at a constant level over a wide range of surroundings. Ectotherms (e.g., snakes), on the other hand, exhibit a wide range of variations due to environmental changes. The advantage of homeostatic regulation is that it allows organisms to function effectively in a broad range of environmental conditions. Lacking this property, ectotherms, for example, become sluggish at low temperatures. The disadvantage of homeostasis is the energy costs and resources required to run such an auto-regulatory system. Snakes can eat only once a week, but humans need continuous sleep, energy intake, and waste expulsion to keep the cellular processes running. Such an integrated control system is also under risk of homeostatic imbalance caused by aging or disease, in which case the organism would be impaired internally and unconditioned to adaptively respond to environmental changes.
What are some sources of heat for an ectotherm?
Ectotherms rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. Common sources include sunlight, warm surfaces like rocks or sand, and the ambient temperature of their environment. They may also absorb heat from nearby warm bodies or water. By basking in the sun or seeking shade, ectotherms can effectively manage their body heat.
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Will computers ever be smarter than humans?
No, because humans invented computers so computers cannot be smarter than humans.
Are puffins endotherms or ectotherms?
They are endotherms
Are grizzly bears endotherms or ectotherms?
The black bear is endothermic
Are doves endotherms or ectotherms?
endothermic
Are mice ectotherms or endotherms?
Endotherm.
Are sea turtles endotherms or ectotherms?
Ectotherms their body temperature changes with the environment
Are amphibians endotherns or ectotherns?
Endotherms are warmblooded, ectotherms are coldblooded, so amphibians are ectotherms.
Are Salamanders ectotherms?
Salamanders are endotherms.
Are dolphins ectotherms?
No, a dolphin is a mammal and all mammals are endotherms.
How do metabolic rates of ectotherms and endotherms compare?
Ectotherms have lower metabolic rates than endotherms because they rely on external sources of heat for regulating their body temperature, while endotherms generate heat internally. Endotherms have higher metabolic rates to maintain their body temperature within a narrow range, compared to ectotherms whose metabolic rates can vary more with environmental temperature.
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.
Is a endotherm and a ectotherm a like or differenet?
they are diiferent terms endotherms can maintain there body temprature like for eg humans ectotherms cannot do that like snakes
What classes of vertebrates are endotherms?
birds mammals fish(also ectotherms)
