The scales on the fish body helps it to reduce water loss.
some examples of terrestrial resource issues are loss of agricultural land, controlling pests, maintaining clean drinking water,
Cactus have a waxy layer on them to prevent water loss and reduce transpiration
Float on your stomach with arms and legs extended.
To reduce heat loss in cold water, you can assume the HELP position by huddling in a group, keeping as much of your body out of the water as possible, crossing your arms over your chest, and drawing your legs towards your chest. This position minimizes heat loss by reducing the surface area exposed to the cold water and helping to retain body heat.
The adaptation of having a waxy layer on the exoskeleton, known as the cuticle, helps prevent water loss in terrestrial arthropods by acting as a barrier to minimize evaporation. Additionally, specialized structures called spiracles can open and close to regulate moisture loss and gas exchange. Some arthropods also have mechanisms to recycle and conserve water internally to further prevent dehydration in dry environments.

Kidneys in terrestrial animals can concentrate urine to retain water by increasing the reabsorption of water and reducing the volume of urine produced. This helps to maintain proper hydration levels in the body and prevent excessive water loss. Additionally, some animals have adaptations such as longer loops of Henle in their kidneys, which enhances water reabsorption and aids in water conservation.
to reduce water loss
Trees are adapted to terrestrial life through features such as deep and extensive root systems that anchor them to the ground and absorb water and nutrients, as well as structures like a thick trunk and branches that provide support and allow for efficient photosynthesis. Additionally, their waxy cuticle and stomata help to reduce water loss and regulate gas exchange, while their specialized vascular system transports nutrients throughout the plant.
Cactus are able to conserve water due to their stems. They have stems that are able to store water for when it is needed.
Reptiles were the first true land vertebrates because they were able to successfully adapt to terrestrial environments with features such as scales to prevent water loss, amniotic eggs for reproduction on land, and efficient respiratory systems for breathing air. These adaptations allowed reptiles to thrive on land, marking a significant evolutionary shift from their amphibian ancestors.
