Which of the following organisms are not found in the polar regions:
Organisms that maintain homeostasis by physiological means which ensures constant body temperature, constant osmotic concentration etc., despite varying temperature are called:
Which of the following cannot be considered as an adaptation of xerophytes?
The property of a system that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, relatively constant condition of properties such as temperature or pH is known as
The following graph represents the organismic response to certain environmental, condition (e.g., temperature) :
Which one of these, or , depicts conformers?
Which of the following regions are not suitable habitat for tiny humming birds:

Most of the desert plants bloom during night time because

Which among the following is a rootless plant?

Desert can be converted into green land by planting
The desert plants in order to tolerate water stress show
Which of the following statement is incorrect?

Given is a diagram representing the annual mean temperature and the annual mean precipitation in three biomes and on the planet. All the animals living in these biomes together can be largely grouped into two major classes 'Regulators' and 'Conformers'. Regulators are the animals that can regulate their body temperature and Conformers are those animals whose body temperature changes as per the environmental temperature. Assuming that these animals do not have any specialized adaptations, the correct statement would be
What are the four adaptations of plants?
What would be a plant adaptation that increases the exposure of a plant to light in a dense forest?
