a cold-blooded animal that cannot regulate its body temperature.
cold-blooded species; a species that depends on an external heat source to warm its body
an organism that receives its body heat from the surrounding environment.
Organism that regulates its body temperature largely by exchanging heat with its surroundings.
an animal whose body temperature varies with the temperature of its surroundings; any animal except birds and mammals
an animal that does not control its body temperature through metabolic regulation
unable to regulate own body temperature without external sources, eg. frog. Among extant animals, this includes all animals except birds and mammals.
EK-toe-therm Animal that loses or gains heat to its surroundings by moving to where the temperature is suitable. 771
a cold-blooded animal, such as a reptile, fish, or amphibian, whose body temperature is mostly determined by the surrounding environment.
An animal, such as a reptile, fish, or amphibian, that must use environmental energy and behavioral adaptations to regulate its body temperature.
The method by which a reptile regulates it's internal body temperature by actively seeking out different external heat sources. Or, the inability of the reptile to produce enough of it's own body heat to maintain normal metabolism.
An animal whose body temperature varies with the temperature of its surroundings (also called cold-blooded).
an organism that relies on external heat sources to regulate it's body temperature.
a cold-blooded animal; an animal that has a body temperature that approximates the surrounding environment
an animal that obtains most of its heat from the environment and therefore has a body temperature very close to that of its environment
cold-blooded; maintain body temperature through outside heat
Means that your reptile regulates its body heat by its surroundings. An example of this would be a reptile laying under a heat lamp absorbing the heat.
Having to regulate internal body temperature by seeking out different external heat sources
An organism in which the body temperature relies on sources of heat outside itself.
Cold-blooded; body temperature responds directly to the temperature of the surrounding environment.
