What three things can cause a mammals body temperature to change?
The temperature of the environment, being sick and physical activity
Are fish different from mammals in that they are ectotherms?
Yes. Fish are ectothermic, commonly referred to as 'cold blooded', because their body temperature depends on their external environment. Mammals are endothermic, or warm-blooded because they can maintain their body 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.
What is the difference between an ectotherm and an endothermic?
Ectotherm- an animal whose body temperature changes with the temperature of its surrounding environment. Endotherm- an animal whose body temperature does not change with its surrounding environment. Ectotherms are animals like snakes and lizards that change their body temp with the ambient temperature. Endotherms are humans and other mammals like birds that keep there body temperature the same no matter what the climate is like. The process of homeostasis regulates our body temperature through negative feedback. For example, when our body temperature decreases due to the cold environment, we shiver to increase the body temperature. When the body temperature increases, we sweat to decrease the body temperature.
Which two vertebrates groups have a steady body temperature?
Birds and mammals are the two vertebrate groups that have a steady body temperature, known as endothermy. This allows them to regulate their internal body temperature independently of the external environment, which helps them thrive in a wide range of habitats.
Which animals are able to maintain a certain body temperature over a wide range of temperature in the environment?
warm blooded animals- mammals and aves
Do Bilbies have body coverings and why?
Bilbies have a body covering of fur, as they are mammals (mammals are covered with fur, hair or skin). The fur acts as insulation and helps protect them against extremes of temperature in their environment.
What do you call an Animal whose body temperature change with the temperature of the environment?
ectotherms
whose body temperature does not change much even when the temperature of the environment changes is called?
Animals whose body temperatures do not change much despite the temperature of the environment changing are called ectotherms. This ability allows some animals to live in harsh environments.
What is an example of homeotherme?
Birds and mammals are examples of homeotherms because they can regulate their body temperature internally, maintaining a relatively constant temperature despite changes in their external environment.
Is a narwhal coldblooded?
No, a narwhal is a marine mammal and is warm-blooded like other mammals. They have the ability to regulate their body temperature and maintain a stable internal environment regardless of the external temperature of their environment.
What are some unique characteristics of mammals with hair?
Mammals with hair have unique characteristics such as the ability to regulate body temperature, provide protection from the environment, and aid in sensory functions like touch and communication.
