Animals undergo an inactive stage during the winter known as:

Detailed Solution for Test: Organism & Its Environment-1 - Question 1

Hibernation is an adaptation which has evolved in certain group of animals to conserve energy by slowing down metabolism and keeping their body temperature low in winters.

  • Bats and bears are well known for hibernating. Some of the hibernating animals includes fish, frogs and turtles, snakes, bees, hedgehogs which have no way to keep warm during winter.
  • Hibernation helps animal to survive when there is inadequate food supply. Before entering into hibernating state an animal stores enough fat to consume it during hibernation.

So, the correct option is 'Hibernation'.

Test: Organism & Its Environment-1 - Question 13

Life is sutainable with water only because 

Detailed Solution for Test: Organism & Its Environment-1 - Question 13

Protoplasm is the material comprising the living contents of a cell. It consists of 90% water alongwith the minerals, sugars, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, etc. The translocation of nutrients inside the body occurs via blood which also, majorly consists of water. In an environment with excesive heat, water loss in the form of sweating and transpiration keeps the body cool. Thus, water maintains body temperature.

Test: Organism & Its Environment-1 - Question 14

A place has very scanty rainfall, the dominant plants there may be

Detailed Solution for Test: Organism & Its Environment-1 - Question 14

The plants which grow in dry or xeric conditions or where availability of water is negligible, are known as xerophytes. Opuntia and Asparagus are succulents which store water in their stem and root respectively.

Test: Organism & Its Environment-1 - Question 15

A freshwater organism cannot survive in a water body that has greater ______ then its original habitat.

Detailed Solution for Test: Organism & Its Environment-1 - Question 15

For aquatic organisms the quality (chemical composition pH) of water is very important. The salt concentration (measured as salinity in parts per thousand), is less than 5 per thousand parts in inland waters, 30-35 per thousand parts in the sea and more than 100 per thousand parts in some hypersaline lagoons. Many fresh water animals cannot live for long in sea water and vice versa because of the osmotic problems they would face.
