Q1.5. Which of the following statements about the effects of temperature on biological processes is false?

Most species can only maintain performance over the range of temperatures between Tmin and Tmax, known as the tolerance range.

Because most ectotherms maintain a nearly constant body temperature, they are relatively unaffected by small changes in environmental temperature.

Many aspects of individual performance vary with temperature because enzymatic performance varies with temperature.

Species richness tends to increase with temperature, with more species found in the tropics than near the poles.

Explanation / Answer

Ibelieve the correct option to be

B) Because most ectotherms maintain a nearly constant body temperature, they are relatively unaffected by small changes in environmental temperature.

as ectotherms are not capable of maintaining their temperature and depends majourly on the surrounding temperatures to change their body temperatures.
