It ranges from subzero levels in polar areas and high altitudes to gt50^@C in tropical deserts in summer. B. A few organisms can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperature they are called eurythermal. C. The productivity and distribution of plants are also heavily dependent on water . D. In the aquatic environment , the sediment characteristics often determine the type of benthic animals that can thrive there.

Assertion: C_(4) plants are better adapted in tropical and desert areas. Reason: C_(4) plants can perform a high rate of photosynthesis even when the stomata are nearly closed.
