Animal Thermoregulation starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Animal Thermoregulation.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A desert fox has large ears. Explain how this adaptation helps with thermoregulation.
A lizard is seen moving between sun and shade throughout the day. What type of thermoregulation is this an example of?
Describe how countercurrent heat exchange works in animals such as penguins or dolphins.
Describe how fur helps mammals regulate their body temperature.
