That type of animal or organism is known as an ectotherm. An example of this is a frog, who depends on sources of environmental heat to help them achieve different lifestyle operations based on metabolic rates.

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 do you mean when you say Fish are cold-blooded animals?

Cold blooded animals do not produce there own heat. Therefor there body temperature will be the same as its surroundings.


What are warm-blooded or ectothermic vertebrates animals?

Ectothermic animals have an internal body temperature that changes with the temperature of its surroundings. A vertebrate is an animal with a backbone. A warmblooded animal has a constant internal temperature so WARM-BLOODED ANIMALS ARE NOT THE SAME AS ECTOTHERMS.


What are Animals whose body temperature usually stays the same?

Oh honey, those are called endotherms. They're the fancy animals who can regulate their body temperature regardless of the environment. Think of them as the divas of the animal kingdom, always staying hot or cool no matter what.


What is the body temperature of a squid?

The body temperature of a squid typically matches the temperature of the surrounding water, as they are considered cold-blooded animals. This allows them to adapt to various ocean environments and maintain their metabolic functions within the range of temperatures they encounter.


How do animals and plants adapts to the ecosystem?

- camouflage to match surroundings - saving food thru techniques like hibernation- changing body temperature to ambient temperature


What are poikolothermic animals?

it is an animal that's body temperature varies according to the temperature of its surroundings mainly fish and reptiles, it does not apply to birds or mammals as they are able to regulate there body temperature, were as reptiles for example will be the temperature of there surrounding this is why they have to bask in the sun to get warm.


What does pokilothermic mean?

Poikilothermic refers to organisms that cannot regulate their body temperature internally and instead rely on external sources to maintain their temperature. This includes animals that are considered ectothermic, where their body temperature fluctuates with the temperature of their surroundings.


What is Rate of fall of temperature of the body is directly proportional to?

The rate of fall of temperature of the body is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings, the surface area of the body exposed, and the thermal conductivity of the material between the body and its surroundings.
