Explain the effects to temperature n plants and animals ?

Explanation

Temperature : It is most important ecological factor affecting almost all the metabolic activities of the organisms. The metabolic activties begain at a certain minimum temperature and increase with increase of temperature ,until they reach a maximum at a temperature called optimum . Further rise or temperature ,is accompanined by a fall in the metabolic activity until it causes at a maxium temperature . Most of the organisms can survive in a narrow range of temperature `(o@-35@C). * Effecys of temperature on plants : The metabolic reaction. trasnpiration, mineral absorption and water uptake and reproduction in plants are effected by changes in temperature . All metabolic reaction are controlled by enzymes and variation of temperature effects enzmyes action . The rate of trasnpiration increases with the increase of temperature.When the temperature is low the minerals remain tightly attached to soil. Many species of plant show flowering with low temperature treatment and this phenomeon is called vernalization.
Equatioorial region ,tropics temperate and polar region have their own their own particular tyoe of vegetationm
* Effect of temperature on animals : The seems to have remarkable effect on metabolism of cerain animals .Temperature affects the reproductive capacity of ofrganism and enzyme linked chemical reaction in the cells. Temperature also effects growth ,development and morphology .It shows that different animals have different range of temperature tolerance . Based on this ,animals are divided into the following categories.
Eurythermal organisms : These are the animals which can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperatures
e.g: Cyclops , toad, mam, lizards, etc.
Stenothermal organisms : These are the animals which can tolerate only a narrow range of temperatures and the vast majority of animals are stenothermal . e.g: fishes ,corals and small.
