What is endothermic organism?

Endothermic organisms generate their own body heat. Exothermic organisms cannot.


Is a seahorse ectothermic or endothermic?

A harp seal 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.


Discuss what results you might obtain if you repeated this experiment using an endothermic organism?

the temperature of the endothermic organism would decrease and the cells in the organisms would explode because of the high water content in the cells.


What is the definition of endothermic change?

Endothermic describes a chemical reaction that is accompanied by the absorption of heat, or an organism that generates heat to maintain its temperature. (adjective)


Do endothermic organisms temperatures rise and the temperatures rise?

endothermic means it is absorbing heat. the heat within the organism would be warmer than the surrounding environment over time.


2 If the Daphnia heart rate experiment were performed on an endothermic organism what results would you expect?

Nothing will happen. This is due to the endothermic circulatory system which regulates and maintains a stabilized temperature.


What of these organism is endothermic?

Birds and mammals are endothermic organisms, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally. This is in contrast to ectothermic organisms, like reptiles and amphibians, which rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature.


What is the characteristic feature of an endothermic reaction?

An exothermic organism is cold- blooded and it's body temperature shifts depending upon the temperature of it's surrounding environment, for example a fish. An endothermic organism is a warmblooded organism that maintains a certain temperature inside the body no madder what its surrounding environments temperature is, for example humans.


Are pygmy marmosets endothermic or ectothermic?

Mammals are endothermic, reptiles are exothermic. Endothermic animals can regulate their body temperature. Cold blooded or exothermic animals can not regulate their body temperature. Exothermic animals have to get their body heat from an outside source..hence the EXO....thermic. Endothermic is from the inside..hence the ENDO....thermic.


How do you measure whether an organism is endothermic or exothermic?

Endothermic organisms generate internal heat to regulate their body temperature, while exothermic organisms rely on external sources of heat. Methods to determine this include measuring metabolic rates, monitoring body temperature fluctuations, and observing behaviors like sunbathing or shivering. Additionally, assessing whether an organism maintains a relatively constant body temperature regardless of environmental conditions can help differentiate between endothermic and exothermic organisms.


Is a mammal an endothermic organism?

Polar bear, like all other mammals, are warm blooded. The terms exothermic and endothermic do not apply to species of animals, they are used to describe chemical reactions (exothermic reactions generate energy, whereas endothermic reactions require energy to make them happen).
