What are the two classes of endothermic vertebrates?

Members of Class Aves and Class Mammalia that is birds and mammals are endothermic animals/vertebrates. These organisms are able to maintain a steady body temperature.

What are endothermic animals examples?

People, polar bears, penguins, and prairie dogs, like most other birds and mammals, are endotherms. Iguanas and rattlesnakes, like most other reptiles—along with most fishes, amphibians, and invertebrates—are ectotherms. Endotherms generate most of the heat they need internally.

What is endothermic animal in biology?

Key Points. An animal is endothermic (warm-blooded) if it maintains a relatively-constant body temperature by conserving heat with the help of insulation. An animal is ectothermic if it does not have insulation to conserve heat and must rely on its environment for body heat.

What is endothermic and ectothermic animals?

In general, if an organism uses energy to regulate its body temperature internally, then it is considered endothermic. If an organism instead relies on external environmental factors to regulate its body temperature, then it is considered ectothermic.

Which of the following groups includes endothermic animals?

Most of the mammals and bird species are warm-blooded animals. The whale is a mammal and pigeons and bats are birds. Thus, they are endothermic animals. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Are there any endothermic reptiles?

Endotherms (like us) are able to create their own heat through metabolic reactions (these use energy to create heat). As reptiles are unable to do this, they have to maintain their body temperature another way, mostly by changing behaviour.
