Question

An animal lives in an environment that has a ambient temperature that ranges from 10 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees Celsius. The name keeps its internal body temperature at 35 degrees C. This is an example of which of the following?

A. Temperature equilibrium
B. Temperature feedback
C. Temperature regulation (AKA: thermoregulation)
D. Temperature conformation

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Temperature regulation (thermoregulation).

Step-by-step explanation:

The animal's ability to keep its internal body temperature constant at 35 degrees Celsius despite changes in the ambient temperature of its environment is an example of temperature regulation (C), also known as thermoregulation.

Temperature equilibrium (A) refers to a state where the temperature of the organism and the environment are the same.

Temperature feedback (B) involves a response to changes in temperature, but it does not necessarily involve the maintenance of a constant internal body temperature.

Temperature conformation (D) is a process where the internal body temperature of an organism changes to match the temperature of the environment, rather than regulating its internal temperature independently.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Temperature regulation (thermoregulation).
