Those animal which can not maintain their body temp are known as:
Correct answer: B. Poikilotherms
- A. Homeotherms
- B. Poikilotherms
- C. Warm-blooded
- D. None of these
Explanation
The correct answer is Poikilotherms. These animals cannot maintain a constant body temperature and are often referred to as 'cold-blooded' because their body temperature changes with the environment. In contrast, Homeotherms and warm-blooded animals can regulate their body temperature internally and maintain it within a narrow range, regardless of external conditions. Therefore, Poikilotherms is the correct choice for animals that cannot maintain their body temperature.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
