Biology - Organisms and Populations Question with Solution | TestHub
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Most of the poikilothermic animals are thermo-conformers in nature.
Reason (R) : Poikilothermic animals can maintain constant body temperature with ambient temperature.
In light of the above statements, choose themost appropriateanswer from the options given below.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Assertion (A) is correct because poikilothermic animals (cold-blooded animals) cannot regulate their body temperature internally. Their body temperature changes with the surrounding temperature, making them thermo-conformers.
Reason (R) is incorrect because poikilothermic animals cannot maintain a constant body temperature. Their body temperature fluctuates with the ambient temperature. It is homeothermic animals (warm-blooded animals) that can maintain a constant body temperature.
Therefore, (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.
Answer: (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.
