all of them

3
New cards

How can certain organisms live in certain ranges that others cannot?

they adapt. organisms who are able to survive in extreme places increase the genetic diversity

4
New cards

how many EROT zones are there?

3

5
New cards

optimal range

ROT where organisms are able to survive, grow, and reproduce

6
New cards

zone of physiological stress

where organisms can survive but experience stressors such as infertility, growth stunts, and decreased activity

7
New cards

zone of intolerance

where all organisms die due to thermal shock, suffocation, lack of food/water
