For endothermic creatures, heat is an extra product of natural metabolism. On the flipside, exothermic creatures actually depend on heat from other sources (usually the sun) to do any of those metabolic processes.

What is a endo thermic animals?

Endothermic animals are animals that make heat on the inside. Endo- = inside Thermic= heat Endothermic= inside heat. This includes mammals and birds.


What is the definition of endothermic animals?

Endothermic animals are those that must generate their own heat to maintain their body temperature. These animals are commonly referred to as "warm-blooded." An animal that is endothermic is categorized as an endotherm, and this includes all mammals. The opposite of an endotherm is an ectotherm.


Where does the heat that warms your body come from?

The heat that warms your body comes from the energy produced by your body's metabolism, which is the process of converting food into energy.


What do scientists call animals that make their own body heat?

Warm blooded or endothermic.


What happens in an endothermic reaction?

An endothermic reaction need heat to occur.


A reaction that absorbs energy is called?

Endothermic-take in Heat, as opposed to exothermic which gives off heat-like a fire or explosion.


If it absorbs heat is it exothermic or endothermic?

If a process absorbs heat, it is endothermic. Endothermic reactions require an input of energy to proceed and absorb heat from their surroundings in order to do so.


What is the name given to reactions which take in heat?

An endothermal (or endothermic) process is the name of the process in which heat is taken in. In an exothermal (or exothermic) process, heat is released.


Are Tortoises and turtles endothermic?

No, tortoises and turtles are ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. They are unable to produce their own body heat like endothermic animals such as mammals.


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 fish ectothermic or endothermic?

Fishes Are Actually Ectotherms Because The Live Blow Water And Not On Land.


Are mudpuppy endothermic?

Mudpuppies are not endothermic; they are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature is regulated by the environment. As amphibians, they rely on external heat sources to maintain their body temperature, which affects their metabolic processes. This characteristic is common among amphibians, as they typically do not generate internal heat like endothermic animals do.
