Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Ectotherms are the animals whose temperature is dependent on environmental temperature. These animals have low metabolic rate and they regulate their temperature through behavioral means.

Students have asked these similar questions
Ectotherms cannot be considered homeotherms, since they do not use mechanisms to keep their internal body temperatures at a constant temperature. A. True B. False
Which of the following is not a way that ectotherms can change their body temperatures? a. Sweating for evaporative cooling. b. Adjusting the timing of their daily activities. c. Seek out or avoid direct sunlight. d. Huddle in a group.
Ectotherms: They are otherwise called wanton creatures. Fishes, creatures of land and water, reptiles are ectotherms.    Endotherms - they are otherwise called warm-blooded creatures. For example, birds and vertebrates are endotherms.    Impact of temperature on endotherms -    When the temperature is low, endotherms produce more hotness to keep the internal heat level steady. So endotherms are not influenced by the temperature of the climate.    Impact of temperature on ectotherms -    The temperature of the climate influences ectotherms. At the point when the temperature is high, ectotherms grow quicker. At the point when the temperature is low, they might foster injury. Provide biological reasoning for your claim about endotherms.   Consider addressing the following: -Why do you see the data you see? -What is happening at the molecular level? -What are the benefits and disadvantages of being an endotherm. -How do endotherms maintain homeostasis?
