Which one of these animals is not a homeotherm ?
- Psittacula
- Macropus
- Camelus
- Chelone
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
A. Camelus (camel) is a mammal and regulates its body temperature. It is a homeotherm.
B. Macropus is a marsupial, so it is also a homeotherm.
C. Psittacula (parrot) is an ave, it is a homeotherm as well.
D. Chelone is a plant. It cannot regulate the internal body temperature.

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

Animal Kingdom
Animals are eukaryotic, multicellular species that belong to the Kingdom Animalia. Every animal has a distinct characteristic. They get energy either by feeding on plants or on other animals. There are millions of species that have been recognized, few shares similar characteristics while others vary drastically.
Kingdom Animalia comprises all animals. In the midst of the five kingdoms, the largest kingdom is the animal kingdom. Animals are multicellular eukaryotes. Though, like plants, they do not possess chlorophyll or a cell wall. Therefore, members of the animal kingdom indicate a heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Kingdom Animalia is further classified into ten different subphyla based on their body designs or differentiations.
The different phyla of the Kingdom Animalia are as follows:
- Porifera
- Coelenterata (Cnidaria)
- Platyhelminthes
- Nematoda
- Annelida
- Arthropoda
- Mollusca
- Echinodermata
- Hemichordata
- Chordata
