Question:
Identify the correct option
Statement – I: Some insects add glycerol to their blood as antifreezing agent during winter.
Statement – II: Insects are temperature regulators.
Identify the correct option
Statement – I: Some insects add glycerol to their blood as antifreezing agent during winter.
Statement – II: Insects are temperature regulators.
Statement – I: Some insects add glycerol to their blood as antifreezing agent during winter.
Statement – II: Insects are temperature regulators.
Show Hint
Remember: Poikilotherms cannot regulate their internal body temperature like mammals or birds do.

- Statement I and II are correct.
- Statement I is wrong and II is correct.
- Statement I is correct and II is wrong.
- Statement I and II are wrong.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Many insects do produce glycerol or other antifreeze proteins to survive extremely low winter temperatures, so Statement I is true. However, insects are poikilothermic (cold-blooded) and do not regulate their body temperature internally, making Statement II false.
