Question

Differentiate between endotherms and ectotherms. Which ones of these do you
think can survive better if there is a suden change in environmental temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Endotherms are warm blooded animals while Ectotherms are cold blooded animals.
• Endotherm do not change their body temperature with Change in environmental temperature while Ectotherm change their body temperature according to the temperature of environments,
• Endotherm e.g.- Humans,Birds etc.

        Ectotherm e.g.-Frogs, snake etc.

Explanation:

If a sudden environmental change occurs the endotherms will survive better because they can maintain stable body temperature and thus their metabolic activity will not be hampered with sudden environmental change.

Answer 2

Answer:

Endotherms are warm blooded animals while Ectotherms are cold blooded animals.

Endotherm do not change their body temperature with Change in environmental temperature while Ectotherm change their body temperature according to the temperature of environments,

Endotherm e.g.- Humans,Birds etc.

       Ectotherm e.g.-Frogs, snake etc.

If Explanation:a sudden environmental change occurs the endotherms will survive better because they can maintain stable body temperature and thus their metabolic activity will not be hampered with sudden environmental change.
