  2. Hydra

  3. Earthworm

  4. Blue jay

  5. Frog

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The organisms that use external heat to maintain their body temperature are termed as ectotherms while those maintaining their body temperature using the metabolic heat are termed as endotherms (mammals and aves). Among the given options, Blue jay (aves) is endotherms. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

State whether the following statements are true or false .
All living things contain a vital force that gives them the characteristics of life.

zoology environmental factors environmental factors and their measurements climate factors marine life

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

At the molecular level even living things are fundamentally made up of all the elements that make non-living matter. There have been attempts to make these molecules and their integration to create life by scientists but none of them has been successful yet. Hence, it is often believed that there is a vital force that can not be created by us that gives organisms characteristics of life. 

So, the correct option is 'True'.

Two opposite forces operate in growth and development of every population. One of them has ability to reproduce at a given rate.

  1. MAN Cow

  2. Cockroach Man

  3. Lizard Frog

  4. Cow Frog

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Animals with constant body temperature are called homoootherms. They have insulating coat to check the loss of body heat. This coat consists of hair in most mammals, blubber (subcutaneous fat) in whales and perspiration cools down the body of these animals when required.These are also termed endothermic as they regulate their body temperature by physio;logical means and maintain more or less constant internal temperature. Poililotherms are cold-blooded animals which are unable to regulate their body temperature which changes with change in temperature of environment e.g. fish, frog, lizard. They are also called as ectothems.
