Do all vertebrates control their own body temperature?
yes they can control their body temperature
How do vertebrates differ in the way they control body temperature?
answer these questions....
How do vertebrates control their body temperature?
Vertebrates regulate their body temperature through a process called thermoregulation. This can involve behaviors like seeking shade or sun, and physiological processes like shivering or sweating. Some vertebrates are able to maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the external environment (endotherms), while others rely on their surroundings to regulate their temperature (ectotherms).
What type of feather helps birds maintain their body temperature?
water proof feathers
Why eagles have feathers?
They are essential for flight and to maintain body temperature
Control of body temperature is important for maintaining what?
Control of body temperature is important for maintaining homeostasis.
What feathers are located underneath contour feathers?
Down feathers are located underneath contour feathers. They are fluffy and provide insulation to help birds regulate their body temperature.
Are all vertebrates warm blooded?
Not all vertebrates are warm blooded. Vertebrate and invertebrate are terms that refer to whether or not the animal has a back bone, and has nothing to do with how their body temperature is controlled. Fish and frogs for example, are both animals with vertebrates (with backbones), but they are cold blooded animals, as their body temperature fluctuates with their environment.
What is under the feathers of a bird that keeps the bird warm in freezing temperature?
Down feathers are feathers that lie under a birds body and primary feathers. These feathers are small and puffy, and trap warm air under a bird's feathers.
What classes of vertebrates are ectotherms?
Ectothermic vertebrates include all classes of fish, amphibians, and reptiles. They rely on external sources of heat to maintain their body temperature. This is in contrast to endothermic vertebrates, such as birds and mammals, which can regulate their body temperature internally.
How are some mammals hair like down feathers?
Down feathers are the feathers closest to a birds body, they need them to maintain the right temperature. An animals fur is there to lock in heat.
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.
