What are endothermic vertebrates?

Answer 1

Members of Class Aves and Class Mammalia that is birds and mammals are endothermic animals/vertebrates. These organisms are able to maintain a steady body temperature.

Endotherms, also known as warm-blooded organisms, are characterized by a body temperature that remains constant throughout the year; as a result, all endotherms are homoeothermic, have a high metabolic rate, and have a well-regulated metabolism, which allows them to produce more heat in a cold environment.

Maintaining a steady warm temperature is beneficial for internal enzymatic reactions, and they can also prevent overheating.

Endothermic vertebrates are animals that can regulate their body temperature internally, maintaining a relatively constant temperature regardless of the external environment. This ability is often referred to as "warm-bloodedness." Birds and mammals are the two main groups of endothermic vertebrates.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
