EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Cold-blooded actually means the animal’s body temperature is basically the same as its surroundings. A fish swimming in 40° F water will have a body temperature very near 40° F. The same fish in 60° F water will have a body temperature near 60° F.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cold-blooded animals do not maintain a constant body temperature. They get their heat from the outside environment, so their body temperature fluctuates, based on external temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -This involves the ability to cool down or produce more body heat. Warm-blooded animals mainly control their body temperature by regulating their metabolic rates (e.g. increasing their metabolic rate as the surrounding temperature begins to decrease).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cold blooded animal-The animals which are having a body temperature varying with that of the environment. Example:fishes and reptiles. Warm blooded animal-The animals which maintain a constant body temperature, typically above that of the surroundings.
