How are the studies performed on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and the moss Pleurozium schreberi and the desert shrub Atriplex lentiformis similar?
A) Both studies examine the effects of microclimates.
B) Both studies support the concept that species operate within a narrow optimum temperature range.
C) Both studies are coupled to enzymatic activity.
D) Both studies examine the effects of microclimates and studies support the concept that species operate within a narrow optimum temperature range.
E) Both studies support the concept that species operate within a narrow optimum temperature range and are coupled to enzymatic activity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both studies on rainbow trout and the plants Pleurozium schreberi and Atriplex lentiformis likely explore how these organisms function within their specific environmental conditions, focusing on the concept that each species thrives within a narrow optimum temperature range. This concept is often linked to enzymatic activity, as enzymes, which drive metabolic processes, have optimal temperature ranges in which they function most efficiently. This connection suggests that the studies would examine both the temperature range and the associated biochemical processes to understand the organisms' adaptations to their environments.
