Ectothermic means the same thing as "cold-blooded." It means that the animals body does not produce its own heat internally so the animal's temperature varies with its surroundings.
Endothermic means the same thing as "warm-blooded." It means that the animals body regulates its temperature internally by producing heat and keeping the body temperature relatively stable.
Exothermic does not relate to animals at all. It is a term used in chemistry to describe certain types of chemical reactions.
Fish are ectothermic as most living things that are not birds or mammals are.
fish have scales and crabs have a shell
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.
Cod and pollack are both widely harvested and consumed species of fish. Unfortunately, there are no widely accepted rules used to differentiate one species from the other.
The primary difference between Arctic and tropical fish cell membranes lies in their lipid composition, which adapts to their respective environments. Arctic fish have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, preventing them from solidifying in cold temperatures. In contrast, tropical fish tend to have more saturated fatty acids, which help maintain membrane stability in warmer waters. This variation in membrane fluidity is crucial for maintaining proper cellular function in different thermal conditions.
Bony fish have scales, fins, and gills for respiration, while frogs have smooth skin, limbs for locomotion, and lungs for breathing. Bony fish also have a swim bladder to control buoyancy, whereas frogs do not have this adaptation.
No. Turtles are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Turtles are reptiles, and all reptiles are ectothermic, as are fish and amphibians. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.
they are ectothermic
Fish are ectothermic and sea squirt is not
Amphibians are exothermic, which means they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature. They adjust their body temperature by moving between warmer and cooler environments.
A goldfish is ectothermic.
All tortoises are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Tortoises are reptiles, and all reptiles are ectothermic, as are fish and amphibians. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.
No. Guppies are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Guppies are fish, and all fish are ectothermic, as are reptiles and amphibians.
Fish are Ectothermic. Meaning that they can NOT regulate their own core body temperature.
Yes. Lancelets are fish and all fish are ectothermic.
