AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -It generates heat by burning the food you eat. All mammals and birds are capable of generating this internal heat and are classed as homoiotherms (ho-MOY-ah-therms), or warm-blooded animals. Normal temperatures for mammals range from 97° F to 104° F.

Detailed explanation-2: -Warm-blooded animals are defined as animals that can regulate and maintain constant internal body temperature. They can survive in any temperature range as they can adapt to it easily. Mammals are the best examples of warm-blooded animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vertebrates: both birds and mammals are vertebrates, which means that they have backbones. Endothermic (warm-blooded): both birds and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded). This means that they are able to regulate their own body temperatures, and maintain a constant body temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like people and all mammals, birds are warm-blooded. Their body temperature remains constant-about 106 degrees, according to the Audubon Society(Opens in a new window). To maintain their body heat in freezing temperatures, their bodies have developed several mechanisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -They are warm-blooded animals thus can maintain their body temperature resulting in homeostasis. They are also warm-blooded animals thus can maintain their body temperature resulting in homeostasis. They can survive even in the coldest of temperature due to homeostasis.
