Needs of Living Things: Need for Proper Temperature

The video discusses the Road Runner, a bird thriving in North America's desert, and why it cannot survive in the northeastern United States due to cold winters. It contrasts this with deer, which can maintain body temperature in cold conditions through homeostasis, a process allowing living organisms to regulate internal conditions despite environmental changes.

Why is the Road Runner unable to live in the northeastern United States?

• The winters are too cold for it to survive.

• It cannot find food there.

• It prefers to live in forests.

• There are too many predators.

Which animal is mentioned as thriving in a desert environment?

• Coyote

• Deer

• Road Runner

• Camel

What allows deer to survive in cold temperatures?

• They migrate to warmer areas.

• They hibernate during winter.

• They maintain a constant body temperature.

• They grow thicker fur.

What is a key difference between the Road Runner and deer in terms of habitat adaptation?

• Road Runner can survive in cold, deer cannot.

• Deer can survive in cold, Road Runner cannot.

• Both can survive in cold environments.

• Neither can survive in cold environments.

What is homeostasis?

• The ability to change body temperature.

• The ability to maintain stable internal conditions.

• The ability to find food in any condition.

• The ability to adapt to different environments.
