Organisms that are tolerant for a wide range of salinity are called:
1. | Stenohalines | 2. | Euryhalines |
3. | Halophytes | 4. | Stenothermals |
Small plants [herbs and shrubs], growing in forests, are usually adapted to photosynthesize optimally under:
1.Very high light conditions
2.Very low water conditions
3.Very high water conditions
4.Very low light conditions
Photoperiod affects:
1. Plants only
2. Animals only
3. Both plants and animals
4. Neither plants nor animals
Which of the following algae is likely to be found in the deepest waters?

Thermoregulation and osmoregulation can be achieved by all:
1. Amniotes
2. Birds and mammals
3. Vertebrates
4. Chordates and insects
When exposed to cold temperatures, which of the following is responsible for maintaining constant body temperature in humans?
1. Vasoconstriction and shivering
2. Vasodilation and shivering

What percent of animals cannot maintain a constant internal environment?
1. 1 %
2. 25 %

Very small animals are rarely found in polar regions because:
1. | Being smaller in size makes them highly vulnerable to predation. |
2. | They have a larger surface area relative to their volume. |
3. | Small size makes long distance migration difficult. |
4. | Small sized animals lack insulating body layers. |
Keoladeo National Park, host to migratory birds from Siberia, is in:
1. | Rajasthan | 2. | Uttar Pradesh |
3. | Madhya Pradesh | 4. | Gujarat |
In animals, the organism, if unable to migrate, might avoid the stress by escaping in time. All the following would exemplify this except:
1. | Hibernation | 2. | Aestivation |
3. | Diapause | 4. | Migration |
