Answer:
Cold blooded creatures take on the temperature of their
surroundings. They are hot when their environment is hot and cold when their
environment is cold, In hot environments, cold-blooded animals can have blood
that is much warmer than warn blooded animals.
Cold-blooded animals are much more active in warm
environments and are very sluggish in cold environments. This is because their
muscle activity depends on chemical reactions which run quickly when it is hot
and slowly when it is cold.
A cold-blooded animal can convert much more of its food
into body mass compared with a warm-blooded animal.
e.g., Rohu. flying lizard.
Warm blooded Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals
and birds, try to keep their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by
generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling
themselves when (hey are In a hotter environment.
To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food
that they eat into energy They have to eat a lot of food, compared with
cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature.
Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blood animal
eats is converted into body mass.
The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.
e.g.. Scoliodon. ostrich, pigeon, bet and whale.
