Question

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?
