Zoology - Organisms and Populations Question with Solution | TestHub

Mammals from colder climates generally have shorter ears and limbs to minimise heat loss.

Many desert plants have a thick cuticle on their leaf surfaces and have their stomata arranged in deep pits (sunken) to minimise water loss through transpiration.

During altitude sickness, the body compensates low oxygen availability by increasing red blood cell production, increasing the binding affinity of haemoglobin and by increasing breathing rate.

Desert lizards manage to keep their body temperature fairly constant by behavioural means.
