Text Solution

Verified by Experts

frog is a poikiothem (cold blooded animal ) i.e , it reguates its body temperature according to its environment .
For withstanding very cold temperature it undergoes winter sleep (hibernation ) and sumer sleep in hot temperatures (asstivation ) During this period it lives in a dormant stage with very minmal vitral body activiites .
Also frog is capable of charging its body colour though gradually with the change in its surrounding and conditions this capbility in frog is called as comouflage and less it escape from the predaors an essential suvival parameter for living .

    Prominent among the urges that inspire and drive a person in life, is the urge to be a somebody. It is quite human, especially in the early stages of life, to want to do something to win laurels and admiration of all around. There's a pitfall though-the very process of becoming a somebody may subtly reduce you to a nobody. American poet Emily Dicknson, who lived in obscurity, has an interesting poem on this theme. ''I'm nobody !'' she declares, with apparent pride. ''Who are you ? Are you nobody, too ?'' why should anybody be happy about being nobody ? The poem explains : ''How dreary to be somebody ! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog !'' The word 'bog' is significant. When you become a somebody, you invite adulation : this then begins to bog you down. The moment you think you arrived, you begin to stagnate, or, worse, your downslide beings. An endless list of writers, artists, sportsmen, politicians... fit this pattern of personal history. To sustain your development in absolute terms, to become a true somebody, it is important to remain a temporal nobody. Even if destiny makes you a temporal somebody, you should be able to see yourself as merely an agent of a susperior power, no more. This requires an exercise of will. You have to constantly watch out and talk to yourself morning and evening. Why is it important for one to remain a temporal nobody ? How ?
