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!

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

cold blooded animals are also called Poikilothermy, Ectothermy, or Heterothermy. (scientific names)
Cold blooded animals include fish, amphibians and reptiles.

"Cold-blooded" animals (ectotherms) have their body temperature regulated by interactions with the environment, while "warm-blooded" (endothermic) animals have an internal temperature kept constant by homeostatic (stability-ensuring) mechanisms. The terms "cold-blooded" and "warm-blooded" are being phased out as they are misleading — "cold-blooded" animals don't have blood that is necessarily cold, it just varies in temperature based on the outside. Another name for ectotherms are "poikilotherms," which means animals with varying body temperature. hope it helped. :-)

The main difference between them is that the warm blooded can control their body temperatue while cold blooded animals cant . Nope they cant change between each other

A poikilotherm is a "cold-blooded" animal, that is, one which cannot regulate its own body temperature from within.
