Is a mouse an endothermic or and ectotherm?

Ectothermic means its cold bloodedendothermic means that its warm bloodedOne trait that distinguishes the major groups of vertebrates from one another is the way in which they control their body temperature. Most fish, amphibians, and reptiles have body temperatures that are close to the temperature of their environment.2 Fish, amphibians, and reptiles are ectotherms. An ectotherm is an animal whose body does not produce much internal heat. Its body temperature changes depending on the temperature of the environment. For example, when a turtle is lying in the sun on a riverbank, it has a higher body temperature than when it is swimming in a cool river. Ectotherms are sometimes called "cold-blooded," but that is misleading. The blood of ectotherms is often quite warm.3 In contrast to the turtle, a beaver would have the same body temperature whether it was in cool water or on warm land. The beaver is an endotherm. An endotherm is an animal whose body controls and regulates its temperature by controlling the internal heat it produces. An endotherm's body temperature usually does not change much, even when the temperature of its environment changes. Mammals and birds are endotherms. They have a stable body temperature that is typically much warmer than their environment. Endotherms are often called "warm-blooded" animals.


How many goldfish can fit in 45.6 ounces?

The number of goldfish that can fit in 45.6 ounces depends on the size of the goldfish. A typical goldfish is about 1-2 ounces in weight. Thus, if we consider an average goldfish to be around 1 ounce, approximately 45 goldfish could fit in 45.6 ounces. However, this number can vary based on the actual size and weight of the goldfish.


How can an ectotherm warm up in the cold?

An ectotherm can warm up in the cold by seeking out a warm environment, such as a sunny spot or a sheltered area with higher temperatures. They may also increase their activity levels to generate more body heat through movement. Some ectotherms can also adjust their metabolism to produce heat internally.


Is a goldfish a vertebrate?

Yes it isyes, goldfish have backbones and therefore are vertebratesGoldfish have a spine, so are classed as a vertebrate.Yeah.Yes. Goldfish, like all fish, are vertebrates. They have a backbone, which is the characteristic shared by vertebrates.


What is the definition of endotherm?

Designating, or pert. to, a reaction which occurs with absorption of heat; formed by such a reaction; as, an endothermic substance; -- opposed to exothermic.
