What statement about camels is true?
Camels are well-adapted to desert environments, primarily due to their ability to conserve water and withstand extreme temperatures. They can drink large amounts of water in a short time and have specialized adaptations, such as the ability to tolerate dehydration. Additionally, camels store fat in their humps, which can be metabolized into water and energy when food is scarce.
Why do cammels have hump?
Camels have hump(s) to store fat, allowing them to go long periods of time without water and food. It is a common misconception that they store water in their humps, but this is not true instead they use a chemical reaction to turn the stored fat into water by combining it with oxygen in the air.
What makes a camel fit to travel across the desert?
Camels are perfect to travel and live in the desert since they have long, protracted eyelashes to prevent blindness when the sand blows in their faces (since sand can cause blindness when in contact with the eye). Also because they have humps which what they have stored is fat when low on food and water. Some people say their humps are filled with water, but not at all, IT'S NOT TRUE! However, there is a tiny bit of water, but as the camels drink, the water is then dispersed throughout the whole body of the camel.GlossaryProtracted - Lasting for a long time or longer than expected or usual.Dispersed - Distribute or spread over a large/wide area.Hope this helped! I know this from my report I did on 'Why Camels Are Fit For The Desert!' 3 years ago! They're quite interesting animal, don't you think?
What family are camels from?
Camels belong to the family Camelidae and thereby to the suborder Tylopoda. The Tylopoda themselves belong to the order Artiodactyla or cloven-footed animals. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla (EVEN-TOED UNGULATES) Sub: Tylopoda Family: Camelidae There are only two true camels; the dromedary or Arabian camel (one hump) and the Bactrain camel (two humps) Other members of the Camelidae are indiginous to South America and they are alpaca, guanaco, llama, and vicuna. The are of the same family, but are not true camels. Camels group/family is called Camelidae.
Why do camels have humps?
The reason for the existence of a camel's hump is purely down to genetics. A camel is genetically predisposed to have one (Dromedary camel) or two humps (Bactrian camel), depending on the species. Camels are born without humps, but gain them as they grow older.The hump is a structural adaptation for the camel in times where feed is absent. Fat (not water) constitutes the hump of the camel, and this fat is accumulated when the camel eats more than their immediate bodily needs. A camel will eat 4 percent of its body weight in dry matter intake. A well-fed camel will have a full, well-rounded hump full of adipose tissue. This hump may disappear or becoming nothing more than floppy, excessive skin when the animal is travelling and without feed for some time. A camel uses fat primarily as an energy storage source.Long term food storage, they build up fat and then use it for energy on long journeys.to store fat, not water, like most people think.Edit: it's true that it's to store fat, but water is produced when fat is burned, so by default it's also a form of water storage.To store fat to live off when food and water is scarce!
Do plants carry water to the roots true or false?
no
Is it true that currents can carry water great distances?
yes
Is it true if a camel with 1 hump mates with a camel with 2 humps what happens?
Nothing
Water is moved toward shore by a wave true or false?
True. Waves carry water towards the shore by transporting energy from the open ocean to the coastal areas.
Deep currents move and mix water around the world they carry?
true
What statement about camels was true?
Camels contributed to the success of West African trading kingdoms because of their usefulness as pack animals on the gold route.
Most desert streams carry water only in response to specific episodes of rainfall?
True
