Question:

What is the mode of adaptation done by aquatic plants and animals where the osmotic concentration of the body fluids changes with that of the ambient air and water osmotic concentration?

Options:

Regulate

Conform

Migrate

Suspend

Correct Answer:

Conform

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2)- Conform

The mode of adaptation done by aquatic plants and animals where the osmotic concentration of their body fluids changes with that of the ambient air and water osmotic concentration is called Conform.

Conform:

  • Conformers are organisms that allow their internal physiological conditions, such as osmotic concentration, to change in response to changes in the external environment.In the context of osmotic concentration, aquatic organisms that conform to the ambient water osmotic concentration are adjusting their internal conditions to match the external conditions.
  1. Regulate:

Regulators are organisms that actively maintain a relatively constant internal environment despite changes in the external environment. They invest energy in physiological mechanisms to keep their internal conditions stable.

  1. Migrate:
    • Migration involves the movement of organisms from one place to another, often in response to changes in environmental conditions.Migration is a behavioral adaptation that allows organisms to find more suitable habitats.
  2. Suspend:
    • Suspension is a term related to feeding mechanisms, particularly in aquatic organisms.
