Английский Язык - Английский Язык
a cold-blooded animal which regulates its body temperature by exchanging heat with its surroundings
An organism in which the body temperature relies on sources of heat outside itself
poikilotherm: an animal whose body temperature varies with the temperature of its surroundings; any animal except birds and mammals
An animal, such as a reptile, fish, or amphibian, that must use environmental energy and behavioral adaptations to regulate its body temperature
("cold-blooded") An animal that does not have the ability to produce sufficient internal metabolic heat to maintain a constant body temperature Ectotherms are dependent on an external heat source to reach and maintain an active body temperature Most therefore, live in tropical and warm temperate regions of the Earth Ectothermy has advantages over endothermy ("warm-bloodedness"), in that much less energy (food) is needed to sustain activity, and when conditions are unsuitable an ectotherm can simply shut down and not use large amounts of stored energy to keep warm
{i} cold-blooded animal, organism that has a variable body temperature which is regulated by the environment (such as reptiles and frogs)
Any so-called cold-blooded animal; that is, any animal whose regulation of body temperature depends on external sources, such as sunlight or a heated rock surface. The ectotherms include the fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. The body temperatures of aquatic ectotherms are usually very close to those of the water. Ectotherms do not require as much food as warm-blooded animals (endotherms) of the same size, but most cannot deal as well with cold surroundings
