How can camel's go long distance without water?
they store it in there humps
How does the presence of two humps on a camel affect its ability to store water in the desert?
The presence of two humps on a camel allows it to store fat, not water. The fat can be converted into energy and water when needed, helping the camel survive in the desert for long periods without drinking water.
Where do camels store there water?
Camels do not store water. The idea that camels store water in their humps was a zoological hoax. Camels actually convert the water into fat, which is stored in their humps and metabolised if they need water.
How many humps does a camel typically have, and what purpose do they serve in the camel's survival and adaptation to its environment?
A camel typically has one or two humps. The humps store fat, not water as commonly believed, which provides energy for the camel when food is scarce. This adaptation helps camels survive in arid environments by allowing them to go long periods without food.
Why can a camel survive in desert for a long period of time without drinking too much?
because camels store water in their stomach
Can you use the word whose in reference to an animal?
Certainly: "The camel, whose humps store fat, can survive for long periods of time without water."
Why there are big humps on a camels back?
a camel's hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds (35 kilograms)! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.
How does the camel walk so easily in the desert and go without water for a long time?
The Camel stores the water in his humps so he can go a long time without water.
Does humps on a camel store water?
No. Camels do not store water in their hump. The hump is used to store fat.
What animal can survive without water longer than a camel can?
The most commonly thought of draught animals are horses, donkeys, mules, camels and llamas, but animals such as water buffalo, sheep, goats, elephants, pigs and dogs also work with and for humans and can be classified as draught animals
How do the unique features of a camel's humps help it survive in the desert environment?
The unique features of a camel's humps help it survive in the desert by storing fat for energy, allowing it to go long periods without water, and regulating its body temperature.
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!
