The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Concepts:** - First, we need to define the terms "conformers" and "regulators." - Conformers are organisms that cannot maintain a constant internal environment; their internal conditions change according to the external environment. - Regulators, on the other hand, are organisms that can maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment. 2. **Identifying the Majority:** - The question states that nearly all plants and 99% of animals are categorized as one of these two groups. - We need to determine which category applies to the majority of plants and animals. 3. **Analyzing the Characteristics:** - Since conformers cannot maintain a constant internal environment, their body temperature and other physiological processes fluctuate with the external conditions. - Examples of conformers include fish and amphibians like frogs. 4. **Considering Regulators:** - Regulators, such as birds and mammals, can maintain homeostasis through physiological and behavioral adaptations. - They can regulate their body temperature and other internal conditions regardless of external changes. 5. **Conclusion:** - Given that nearly all plants and 99% of animals fall under the category that cannot maintain a constant internal environment, the correct answer is that they are categorized as **conformers**. **Final Answer:** Nearly all plants and an overwhelming majority (99 percent) of animals are categorized as **conformers**. ---
