2. 
   Endothermic
   Endotherms maintain a relatively constant internal temperature. Endothermic animals generate their own body heat to maintain their body temperature, which is usually higher than that of the surroundings. Heat from the bloodstream circulates through the body in order to maintain the animal's temperature. Birds and mammals are endothermic.

17. 
    Endothermic
    In thermodynamics, the word `endothermic` describes a process or reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat. Its etymology stems from the Greek prefix `endo-,` meaning `inside` and the Greek suffix `-thermic`, meaning `to heat`. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases energy in the form of heat. The term `endothermic` was coined by Marcellin Berthelot. The concept is frequently applied in physica...
