Endothermic creatures maintain fairly consistent body temperatures. Ectothermic creatures do not. What are the best synonyms for "endothermic" and" ectothermic?"

1) Endothermic: warm-blooded

2.) Ectothermic: cold-blooded

Explanation:

HOMEOSTASIS is defined as the ability of an organism to maintain its internal environment. These organisms are capable of regulating it's internal environment and keeping it in a steady state by constantly adjusting any changes in the physical and chemical conditions of it's body fluids. These conditions include temperature, pH, osmotic pressure and concentration of dissolved substances in the body fluids such as carbondioxide, oxygen, urea and ions.

ENDOTHERMIC or warm-blooded organisms are capable of maintaining their body temperature through internally generated heat. For example during cold conditions, these organisms through homeostatic mechanism shivers to keep the internal temperature steady..Example of an endothermic organisms includes most birds and mammals.

Ectothermic or cold-blooded are organisms that relies on the external environment for the maintenance of their body temperature. For example during cold conditions instead of generating internal heat to maintain their body temperature, they seek for environments that favours their temperature. Examples include fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates.

Endothermic - warm-blooded

Ectothermic - cold-blooded

Explanation:

The best synonym for endothermic would be warm-blooded while that of ectothermic would be cold-blooded.

Warm-blooded creatures have the ability to maintain a relatively constant body temperature irrespective of the temperature of their environments. They do so by regulating their metabolic processes.

Cold-blooded creatures have their body temperature to be dependent on the temperature of their environment.

the generally accepted parts of modern cell theory include: all known living things are made up of one or more cells. all living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. the cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
