Q. Individuals which can maintain their body temperature are called

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2003

Solution:

Homeothermic(warm blooded) animals have the capacity of maintenance of constant body temperature higher than that of the environment. It involves physiological homeostasis. Homeothermic is the characteristic of mammals and birds. Some fishes are able to keep some muscles considerably warmer than the surrounding water. Whereas poikilothermic animal body temperature more or less follows the atmospheric temperature.
