NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -endotherm, so-called warm-blooded animals; that is, those that maintain a constant body temperature independent of the environment. The endotherms primarily include the birds and mammals; however, some fish are also endothermic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endotherms use internally generated heat to maintain body temperature. Their body temperature tends to stay steady regardless of environment. Ectotherms depend mainly on external heat sources, and their body temperature changes with the temperature of the environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endotherms regulate their core body temperature by adjusting metabolic heat production and insulation. Endothermic body temperatures are therefore relatively stable compared to external temperatures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endotherms produce their own body heat to maintain a specific temperature, while ectotherms must rely on the environment. Endothermy is the method endotherms use to maintain their heat, and ectothermy is the method ectotherms use. All mammals and birds are endotherms, while other animals are ectotherms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endothermic animals are animals that are able to maintain a constant body temperature regardless of their ambient temperature. Endothermic animals include all birds and mammals of the animal kingdom. Even some fish are considered to be endothermic.
