Question

It can be said that some animals in their evolutionary development preferred to be conformers than regulators.
Which of the following can be the best suited reason for it?

• A. The metabolic of these organisms can occur at a very wide rang of temperature.
• B. Maintaining homeostasis is an energetically expensive process
• C. The enzymes of these organisms are functional at high temperatures.
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is B Maintaining homeostasis is an energetically expensive process

Maintaining homeostasis, especially thermoregualtion is energetically expensive for many organisms. During the course of evolution, the costs and benefits of maintaining a constant internal environment were taken into consideration and thus some species preferred to be conformers.
