how does temperature affect an endothermic organism?

Question

explain

Answer 1

Thermoregulation can be found in endotherms and ectotherms alike; however, it is
particularly important to ectothermic organisms as their internal temperature often parallels
ambient temperatures in the absence of mitigating conditions.
Studies indicate that temperature can affect an organism’s ability to forage or to hunt, to
evade predators or to defend against them. Furthermore, temperature can also affect mating
success and development. While endothermic organisms can alter their metabolic rates to adjust
their internal temperatures, ectothermic organisms have only limited options. One option is to
adjust temperature though physiological thermoregulation. This is frequently how such
organisms tolerate extreme cold or raise their internal temperature. However, if ambient
temperatures rise above the level of heat tolerance, ectothermic organisms will often
thermoregulate behaviorally.

Answer 2

If the temperature is not within certain limits then metabolism will cease and then there will be organ failure (as the case with most mammals). Exothermic animals such as lizards, frogs and insects can experience a greater range temps without any major ill effects some can even freeze though and thaw and still survive.

Answer 3

Ask yourself. What happens when the temperature goes up? Do you sweat? What happens when the temperature goes down? You get the chills?

When a dog gets hot it pants, drinks lots of water and lays in the shade.
