I am doing a project on the respiratory rate of goldfish depeneding on the water temperature. For part of the lab write up I need to research cold-blooded animals. My teacher wants us to include another name for cold-blooded animals. Any information about cold-blooded animals will help. Thanks!
What is another name for a cold-blooded animal?
Ectothermic means the animal is dependent on the outside environment for heat.
Heterothermic means the animal's body temp. fluctuates as opposed to the constant temp. of a homeotherm.
Poikilothermy - This refers to creatures whose internal temperatures vary, often matching the ambient temperature of the immediate environment

Reply:cold blooded animals are also called Poikilothermy, Ectothermy, or Heterothermy. (scientific names)
Cold blooded animals include fish, amphibians and reptiles.
Reply:Reptile or Amphibian.
Reply:amphibian or reptile
Reply:A poikilotherm is a "cold-blooded" animal, that is, one which cannot regulate its own body temperature from within.
