Question

Partial regulators are the organisms who

• A. Can regulate their body temperature to a large extent of the environmental condition
• B. Change their body temperature to certain level of ambient temperature but if the temperature goes on increasing they can maintain a steady temperature.
  
• C. Can regulate body temperature voluntarily
• D. None of the above
  

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Change their body temperature to certain level of ambient temperature but if the temperature goes on increasing they can maintain a steady temperature.

The organisms not falling in the category of conformers or regulators fall in partial regulators category. These organisms can tolerate a narrow range of temperature change. They can regulate the body temperature only over a limited range of environmental condition.

So, the correct answer is 'Change their body temperature to certain level of ambient temperature but if the temperature goes on increasing they can maintain a steady temperature'.
