10. Ectotherm



Ectotherm usually refers to cold blooded organisms. They depend on the environment for body heat because they cannot regulate their own. When the environment’s temperature changes, so does the organism’s. If the environment experiences big temperature changes, the organism’s life can be in danger. The fish in the tank is cold blooded, so therefore their body temperature varies with the temperature of the water.
