Biology Question on Kingdom Animalia
Body temperature of cold blooded animals
A
is constant
B
fluctuates with surrounding temperature
C
becomes very low at times
D
is very cold
Answer
fluctuates with surrounding temperature
Explanation
Solution
Body temperature of cold blooded animals fluctuates with surrounding temperature. Cold blooded animals do not have any temperature regulating mechanism or homeostasis. Thus their body temperature fluctuate with the environmental temperature. It is seen mostly in lower group of vertebrates. They make their own physiological mechanism (like hibernation/diapause) to get rid of the extremity of temperature.
