Distinguish between ectothermic and endothermic animals. Give at least three examples of each.
Discuss at least two behavioral mechanisms that endothermic animals have that aid them in
thermoregulation.
Solution
Ectothermic animals - These animals obtain heat from the environment e.g. sun, heat rock
surface. they are also called known as cold blooded animals. examples are reptiles, amphibians,
fishes and invertebrates.
Endothermic animals - These animals have constant body temperature that is they are not depend
to external source. they are also knowns as warm blooded. exaples are birds, mammals.
Endothermic animals maintain thier body temperature on the basis of environment like if they
are in cooler environment they generate heat from the body to get constant temperature.
endothermic animals use food to generate energy to perform various activities, the energy also
produce heat energy which maintain the constant temperature of the body.
