Is a fish a homeotherm or poikilotherm?
a homeotherm
Is there another word for a cold blooded animal?
The scientific term for a cold blooded animal is Poikilotherm it is also ectothermic
What is an ectothermic insect?
An ectothermic insect is an insect that relies on external sources to regulate its body temperature. This means that their body temperature is dependent on the temperature of their environment. Ectothermic insects can adjust their behavior to bask in the sun to warm up or seek shade to cool down.
Is a fish a homeotherm or poikilotherm?
a homeotherm
What is an example of a poikilotherm?
An example of a poikilotherm is a lizard. Poikilotherms are organisms that cannot regulate their body temperature internally and rely on external sources to maintain their body temperature.
Is a salamander a poikilotherm?
yes, their body temperatures can vary considerably
Are night cnidarians endothermic or ectothermic?
They are a special type of ectotherm called a poikilotherm meaning they have the same body temperature as their ambient surroundings.
What do you suppose is a consequence of being a poikilotherm?
A consequence of being a poikilotherm, or an organism that cannot regulate its body temperature internally, is that its metabolic rate and activity levels are highly dependent on environmental temperatures. This makes poikilotherms more vulnerable to temperature fluctuations, which can limit their habitat range and affect their growth, reproduction, and survival. Additionally, they may require more time to warm up in cooler environments, impacting their ability to hunt or escape from predators.
What animals maintain a steady body temperature?
"Homeotherms" maintain a steady body temperature and are warm-blooded, as opposed to "Poikilotherms" which are cold-blooded.An example of a homeotherm is a Lion, an example of a poikilotherm is a Crocodile.
Is there another word for a cold blooded animal?
The scientific term for a cold blooded animal is Poikilotherm it is also ectothermic
Blank animal have a body temperature that is effected by there environment?
You probably want the answer "cold-blooded", but there are better answers, like ectotherm and poikilotherm. If you want to go that far, look them up on the Internet. Be careful with how you write: you meant to say "animals have", not "animal". Also "their" not "there".
Can an animal be both cold and warm blooded IE can there be an animal whose body temperature is maintained homeotherm or changes in the environment poikilotherm depending on circumstances?
I'm not absolutely sure but i am pretty sure they can only be one. don't trust me though i might not be right.
What amphibion can be frozen?
Because thay are Poikilotherm (rely on external sources for body heat), some species of frogs hypothetically and demonstably can survive being frozen in an ice cube and defrosted. Note that cells, being 70% water, expand when frozen destroying the cell membranes. This is one of the major problems in cryogenics.
How does poikilotherm limit an organism?
Poikilotherms are organisms that cannot regulate their body temperature internally, so their body temperature changes with their environment. This can limit their activity levels and growth rates, as they are dependent on external temperatures for physiological processes. Extreme temperatures can also be harmful to poikilotherms, leading to reduced metabolic functions or even death.
What is an ectothermic insect?
An ectothermic insect is an insect that relies on external sources to regulate its body temperature. This means that their body temperature is dependent on the temperature of their environment. Ectothermic insects can adjust their behavior to bask in the sun to warm up or seek shade to cool down.
