What else can I help you with?
What type of molecule do whales use for energy storage and insulation?
Whales use fat or lipid molecules for energy and insulation.
Do Beluga whales store food?
The Beluga whale stores energy in the form of blubber, a dense fat that is also used for insulation.
Why does the feeding season of the humpback whale affect its blubber?
Just as with other mammals, when you feed, or engorge yourself, you will gain weight, and with humpback and other whales, weight gain is in the form of blubber, which serves as an insulation, but also is caloric storage for them and gives energy. Those whales who migrate live off their blubber during the long periods of no food intake, which could be 6 months or more, depending on the whale.
Do mammals have a layer of insulation?
All mammals, including humans, have body fat/insulation, but some have more than others (e.g., whales).
Where does the snow leopard get its energy from?
Sperm Whales
What do animals do to insulate themselfs?
animals use different methods of insulation. most, including whales, bears, and seals have thick layers of blubber (fat) to keep heat from escaping their bodies in the cold. Other animals have thick pelts (fur) that keeps them warm throughout winter months.
How do killer whales keep their body heat?
A combination of size (surface area to volume) and good insulation (blubber ... fat)
What part of a whale does photosynthesis?
Whales do not perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert light energy into chemical energy. Whales are mammals and obtain their energy by consuming food.
How do beluga whales get their energy from their environment?
By eating, mainly fish.
Do rabbits have blubber?
No, rabbits do not have blubber. Blubber is a thick layer of fat that some marine mammals like whales and seals have to insulate and store energy. Rabbits rely on their fur for insulation and do not have blubber.
What characteristics of sound energy allows whales to communicate underwater?
mechanical
What technology would be best to measure and record sound energy levels coming from whales?
ULTRASONIC Recorders can determine distance and record sounds from Whales.
