among the red, green and brown algae which one among them can live deep in the water
red algae
regulation
organisms maintain homeostasis in constant body temperature and osmotic concentration
conformation
majority of animals cannot maintain constant internal body temperature. theyre called conformers. their body temp. varies according to the ambient temp.
heat loss or gain is a function of
surface area
migration
animals can move away temporarily from stressful conditions to another habitat
example of migration
the famous Keolado national park in Rajasthan hosts thousands of migratory birds from Siberia in winter
