Q. Out of the following statements,select the incorrect one.
Solution:
Solution:
Temperature is the most ecologically relevant environmental factor. The average temperature on land raises seasonally, decreases progressively from the equator towards the poles and from plains to mountain tops. Temperature plays an important role in both latitudinal and altitudinal distribution of organisms. For example, mango, a tropical and subtropical tree plant, is found in temperate countries like Canada and Germany. Similarly, snow leopard (polar animal) are not found in the sub-tropical region, and tuna fish is not found beyond tropical latitudes in the ocean. Temperature significantly affects the enzyme kinetics and basal metabolism as well as activity and other physiological functions of the organism.
