Write short notes on effect of temperature or water scarcity and the adaptation of animals
Effect of temperature or water scarcity and adaptation of animals. Optimum temperature is necessary for animals, survival as all the metabolic activities are driven by enzymes. And enzymes work actively only in a certain optimum range of temperature. Regulators can regulate their body temperature in case of temperature fluctuations in the external environment. Conformers also try to maintain temperature by certain methods but not internally. Similarly, water is also necessary for the metabolic activities of animals. Various adaptations seen in animals to deal with temperature fluctuations are thick fur, sweating, short limbs and ears. Various adaptation to counter the scarcity of water is the ability to use metabolic water, store water, reduced water loss, etc.
