In the given list. How many animal are Ammonotelic?
Aquatic insect, bony fish, frog, Birds, reptiles, spiders, marines bony fish, crocodiles

  1. Four

  2. Three

  3. Five

  4. Two
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonotelic animals are those that excrete nitrogenous waste primarily as ammonia. This typically includes aquatic insects, bony fish, and some amphibians (like tadpoles). In the list, aquatic insects, bony fish, and marine bony fish are definitely ammonotelic; the classification of others varies, but four is the standard answer in this context.

Without ozone layer all terrestrial animals will be

  1. extinct

  2. Vanished

  3. Dead

  4. Resurrected
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The ozone layer protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Without it, terrestrial animals would be exposed to lethal levels of radiation, leading to mass extinction.

What are examples of unsubsidized natural solar powered ecosystem?

  1. Machines

  2. Forests, Oceans and Grasslands

  3. Houses

  4. Industries
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Natural ecosystems like forests, oceans, and grasslands operate using solar energy without human-made subsidies like fertilizers or fuel. Machines, houses, and industries are human-made and require external energy inputs.

Which of the following is an important adaptation of animals too the cold climate?

  1. Thin layer of body fat

  2. Aestivation

  3. Increased tendency to shivering

  4. Reduced surface area to volume ratio
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Temperature affects the the absolute size of an animal and the relative proportions of various body parts, Birds and mammals attain grater body size in cold regions than in warm areas. But poikilotherms are smaller in cold region. This is Bargeman's rue. This is true because small animals have larger surface area relative to their volume, so if they are in cold, they lose their body heat very fast. In cold climate, reduced surface area to volume ratio is ideal. So, the correct answer is 'Reduced surface area to volume ratio'.

Which of the following is not an important adaptation of animals to cold climate?

  1. Thin layer of body fat

  2. Aestivation

  3. Increased tendency to shiver

  4. Reduced surface area to volume ratio
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The animals living in cold climate have various physiological adaptations like:

1) A thick layer of body fat called as Blubber to avoid loss of heat from body tissue.

2) Hibernation is a property of suspended metabolism in these organisms to surpass cold conditions.similar mechanism called aestivation exists in desert animals to survive in arid and hot conditions.

3) Increased tendency to shiver causes an increase in body temperature because of exercise thus help to withstand low temperatures.

4) The reduced surface area to volume ratio to prevent heat loss from the body surface. So, the correct answer is 'Aestivation'.

Animals living in cold regions have?

  1. legs to run fast

  2. fat for additional insulation

  3. long necks

  4. long eye lashes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Animals that live in colder areas have to protect their bodies against extremely cold environmental conditions. Their bodies cannot withstand such cold climates. So, they have a thick white fur over their bodies. This provides an additional layer over their skin. As a result, the air gets trapped in this layer and it cannot pass through it, keeping their bodies insulated against the excessive cold.

So, option B " fat for additional insulation" is the correct answer.
