organs on the head below and in front of the eyes, which are<br />
extremely sensitive thermoreceptors. Each pit is a cavity about 5<br />
mm deep. The sensitivity of the snake to rapid changes of<br />
temperature is 0.002°C. The pit organs also act as a directional<br />
distance receptor.<br />
Fish. Many species of bony fish (teleosts) are sensitive to very<br />
small changes of water temperature - from 0.03°C to 0.07°C.<br />
Practically the entire surface of the fish, including the fins, is<br />
thermosensitive. Likewise, elasmobranchs, such as rays and<br />
sharks, have distinctive sense organs, called ampullae of Lorenzini,<br />
that are highly sensitive to cooling.<br />

14.4. EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON PLANTS<br />
Plants can survive a broad range of atmospheric temperatures <br />
from -S9°C to 5SoC (even to about 70 DC in desert areas). Most<br />
species, however, have a much more limited temperature range,<br />
generally from somewhat above freezing to around 40°C.<br />
Temperature extremes have distinct effects on plants. High<br />
temperatures cause increased respiration (sometimes above the<br />
rate of photosynthesis) and transpiration. A common response to<br />

high temperature in plants is a marked change in the pattern of<br />
protein synthesis. High temperatures cause damage to the cells<br />
and tissues and low temperatures can result in poor growth,' reduce<br />
energy use and increase sugar storage. Photosynthesis decreases<br />
with decreasing temperature. Low temperature injury to tropical<br />
and subtropical plants (chilling injury) results in wilting,<br />
inhibited growth, germination and reproduction, and death. The<br />
universal result of freezing is membrane damage while extracellular<br />
freezing (i.e., water external to the plasma membrane) damage<br />
causes rapid dehydration of the cells.<br />
Flowering depends on the temperature and in some species<br />
can be partially triggered by temperature.<br />
