Question

select the correct answer.
if an arctic polar bear is transferred to a zoo in tropical singapore, it will not be able to survive. what could be the reason for this?
a. tolerance only for cold climates
b. inability to find a partner for mating
c. injuries during transportation

Explanation:

Arctic polar bears are adapted to cold climates with thick fur and fat for insulation. Tropical Singapore’s high temperatures exceed their thermal tolerance, leading to overheating and inability to survive. Other options (mating, transportation injuries) are not immediate survival threats compared to climate mismatch.

Answer:

A. tolerance only for cold climates
