Transcript:

Cells cannot remain alive outside certain limits of temperature. In much narrow limits mark the boundaries of effective functioning. Enzyme systems of mammals and birds are most efficient only within a narrow range around thirty seven degrees centigrade. A departure of a few degrees from this value seriously impairs their functioning. Evon though cells can survive wider fluctuations, the integrated actions of bodily systems arc impaired. Other animals have a wider tolerance for changes of bodily …

Option 3: "temperature"

Explanation: The correct answer is 'temperature' because the text explicitly discusses how cells cannot survive outside certain temperature limits. It highlights that enzyme systems function best around thirty-seven degrees centigrade, making 'temperature' the most relevant and accurate choice.

Option 1: "structure"

Explanation: The term 'structure' does not relate to the context of the text, which discusses the limits of temperature for cell survival. The text focuses on temperature as a critical factor for effective functioning, making 'structure' irrelevant.

Option 2: "difference"

Explanation: The word 'difference' does not fit the context of the sentence. The text emphasizes the importance of specific temperature ranges for cellular function, and 'difference' does not convey this critical aspect.

Option 4: "shape"

Explanation: The option 'shape' is incorrect as it does not relate to the main idea of the text, which is about temperature limits affecting cell function. The text does not mention shape as a factor in cellular survival.
