The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about organisms that can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperatures, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Temperature Tolerance**: - Organisms can be classified based on their tolerance to temperature. Some can thrive in a narrow temperature range, while others can survive in a wide range. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - **Stenothermal**: This term refers to organisms that can only live within a narrow range of temperatures. They are not the answer to the question. - **Urethermal**: This term refers to organisms that can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperatures. This is the term we are looking for. 3. **Differentiating Between Types**: - Stenothermal organisms can be further divided into: - **Polythermal**: Organisms that can tolerate higher temperatures. - **Oligothermal**: Organisms that can tolerate lower temperatures. - Urethermal organisms do not have these restrictions and can function across a broad spectrum of temperatures. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct term for organisms that can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperatures is **urethermal**. ### Final Answer: The organisms that can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperatures are called **urethermal** organisms. ---
