Question
How does temperature affect the organisms?
✓
Answer
Physiological functions as well as geographical distribution of plans and animals are governed by the temperature conditions and their thermal tolerance. Organisms which can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperatures are called eurythermal, e.g. most mammals and birds while organisms which can tolerate a narrow range of temperatures are called stenothermal, e.g. polar bear, amphibians.
