Mammals and Birds are homeothermic.
Extra Credit
As animals get larger the ratio of their volume to their surface area increases, this reduces the rate at which they lose hear to the environment and also reduces the rate at which environmental changes alter their internal temperature, this phenomenon is known as Gigantothermy and enables reptiles and fish, such as the Sea Turtle and Great White Shark to maintain a constant body temperature.
What else can I help you with?
Birds maintain a body temperature in the range of?
Birds maintain a body temperature in the range of 105-109 degrees Fahrenheit. This high body temperature helps birds to regulate their metabolism and activities.
Why does body temperature fluctuate?
Body temperature fluctuates due to various internal and external factors, such as metabolism, physical activity, hormonal changes, and environmental conditions. The body works to maintain a stable internal temperature through processes like thermoregulation, where it either produces or loses heat to balance with the external environment. Fluctuations in body temperature can be normal responses to help the body adapt and function optimally.
If the temperature outside is a sweltering 41 degrees Celsius how is a human's body likely to respond to maintain homeostasis?
To maintain homeostasis in response to high temperatures, a human's body will likely increase sweating to cool down through evaporation, vasodilate blood vessels near the skin to release heat, and decrease metabolic rate in extreme cases to conserve energy. These responses help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.
What are the two types of body temperature?
The two types of body temperature are core body temperature, which is the temperature of the internal organs, and surface body temperature, which is the temperature of the skin and extremities. Core body temperature is typically more stable and tightly regulated than surface body temperature.
Why do I feel so warm at night?
Feeling warm at night can be due to a variety of reasons, such as your body temperature regulation, the temperature of your surroundings, or the type of bedding you use. Your body naturally tends to cool down during sleep, so feeling warm could be a sign that your body is working to maintain its ideal temperature. Additionally, factors like room temperature, bedding materials, and even your own metabolism can contribute to feeling warm at night.
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.
An animal that maintains its body temperature within a narrow range even when the environmental temperature varies is an example of a?
Homeotherms.
What is an homeo therm?
A homeotherm is an organism that can regulate its body temperature to stay relatively constant despite changes in external temperature. This ability to regulate body temperature internally allows homeotherms to maintain a stable environment for important biological processes. Examples of homeotherms include mammals and birds.
What are an ectotherm an endotherm and a homeotherm?
An ectotherm is an animal that controls its body temperature through external means. As a result of this it is dependant on environmental heat sources (such as basking in the sun) and has a fairly low metabolic rate. An endotherm is an animal capable of producing heat by internal means (such as a high metabolism). A homeotherm is able to maintain a stable body temperature through a narrow range. Most endotherms are therefore homeotherms however some animals considered to be endotherms by definition such as some large fish lack the insulation and thermoregulation to maintain a constant internal body temperature and are therefore not considered homeotherms, but poikilotherms- where the body's temperature changes with the environment. Some ectotherms, for example tropical marine invertebrates live in warm waters that stay at a constant temperature. Therefore their body temperature does not fluctuate and they are considered ectothermic homeotherms.
Is a fish a homeotherm or poikilotherm?
a homeotherm
What does the body do to keep the temperature the same?
How do are body's maintain a constant temperature?
How does a white tiger maintain its body temperature?
they maintain body temperature by sleeping during the day and hunt at night
How do falcons maintain its body temperature?
by sleeping during the day and hunt at nightnoMajority of the cold-blooded animals maintain their body temperature by exposing their body to the sun
How does a tiger maintain its body temperature?
its fur
Is the panda a homeotherm?
No
How do endothermic animals maintain body temperature?
Endothermic animals maintain constant body temperature in a number of ways. One way is to lay out in the sun.
Birds maintain a body temperature in the range of?
Birds maintain a body temperature in the range of 105-109 degrees Fahrenheit. This high body temperature helps birds to regulate their metabolism and activities.
