Question

A salamander is a vertebrate that spends part of its life cycle in water (juvenile stage) and part on land (adult stage). In both life stages, the salamander's body temperature depends on its surrounding environment, so the salamander demonstrates _________ behavior.

Answer 1

Ectothermic

Step-by-step explanation:

Ectothermic behavior is a type of behavioral mechanisms adopted by animals to regulate their body temperature by depending on the temperature of their environment or external source. These behavior is exhibited by animals that do not produce heat internally to regulate their body temperature, but rely on the external heat sources to maintain their body temperature, which is vital for the normal functioning of their body.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

ectothermic

Step-by-step explanation:

Ectotherms or ectothermic organisms are organisms whose body temperature vary depending on the temperature of their immediate external environment.

They are also referred to as cold blooded organisms and have varying biological mechanisms to cope with extremes which include being dormant during extreme temperatures, secreting heat-shock protein during heat stress and so on.
