Pregunta:

What structural adaptations do camels have for the hot and dry conditions of a dessert?

Autor: Alana Ray



Respuesta:

Camels structural adaptations for the hot and dry conditions of a dessert are their hump stores the thermal insulator of fat in a single place so heat can be lost around the rest of the body. This also reduces water loss from sweating and water can be produced from this fat through metabolic reactions. Secondly, camels have a thick coat on the upper surface of their body to insulate the top of them from the suns heat, which also reduces water lost through sweating. camels also have leathery mouths so they can chew desert plants which often have thorns and can be a good source of water . camels have long eyelashes and can close their nostrils to keep dust out. and camels have wide feet to prevent them from sinking in the sand.
