Assertion: Some orgainsms can maintain internal homeostasis by means of physiological processes and are called "regulates."
Reason: Regulates can maintain internal homeostasis only up to a lilmit under stressful conditions.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason are true the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2).

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false, then mark (3).

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false, then mark (4).

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down into steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that some organisms can maintain internal homeostasis through physiological processes and are referred to as "regulators." - This is true. Regulators, such as mammals and birds, have mechanisms that allow them to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that regulators can maintain internal homeostasis only up to a limit under stressful conditions. - This statement is misleading. While it is true that there are limits to how much regulators can cope with stress (e.g., extreme temperatures, dehydration), they are still capable of maintaining homeostasis in a wider range of conditions compared to conformers. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - The assertion is correct, as it accurately describes regulators. - The reason, however, is incorrect because it implies that regulators cannot maintain homeostasis under significant stress, which is not entirely accurate. They can maintain homeostasis but may struggle beyond certain thresholds. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is correct and the reason is incorrect, the overall conclusion is that the assertion stands true while the reason does not support it. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect.

Read the following statements and select the correct ones. i) All vertebrates are capable of osmoregulation and thermoregulation. ii) Some species have evolved the ability to regulate, but only over a limited range of environmental conditions, beyond which they simply conform. iii)99 per cent of animals and nearly all plants can- not maintain a constant internal environment. - iv)Animals arc either perfect regulators or perfect conformers.

Assertion : The aquatic organisms in which the osmotic concentration and temperature of body change according to the ambient conditions of water are referred to as conformers. Reason : Aquatic organisms are able to maintain homeostsis through thrmoregulation and osmoregulation by physiological or behavioural means.

Comprehension # 1 Many lyophilic sols and few lyophobic sols when coagulated under some special conditions changes into semi rigid mass, enclosing whole amount of liquid within itself, it is called gel and the process is called gelation, Gelatin Agar-agar, gum-Arabic can be converted into gels by cooling them under moderate concentration conditions. Hydrophobic sols like silicic acid. Al(OH)_(3) are prepared by double decomposition and exchange of solvent method. Types of Gel : (i) Elastic gel : Those gel which have elastic properties. Ex : Gelatin, Strach, Agar-agar etc. (ii) Non-elastic gel : Those gel which are rigid. Ex : Silica gel. Properties of Gel : 1. Syneresis/weeping of gel : The spontaneous liberation of liquid from a gel is called syneresis or weeping of gels. It is reverse of swelling. Ex : Gelatin, Agar-Agar show syneresis at low concentration while sillicic acid shows it at high concentration. 2. Imbibition or swelling of gel : When gel is kept in a suitable liquid (water) it absorb large volume of liquid. The phenomenon is called imbibition or swelling of gel. 3. Thixotropic : Some gels when shaken to form a sol, on keeping changes into gel are termed as thixotropic gel and phenomenon is called thixotropy. Ex : Gelatin and silica liquify on shaking changing into corresponding sol and sol on keeping changes back into gel. The process of imbibing water when elastic gel are placed in water is called :
