Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather?



pleaseeeee I need it for my test right now!

Respuesta :

The blubber fat layer and white fur helps the polar bears to maintain internal homeostasis in cold weather.

The thick fur and extra fat deposit on the skin are some adaptations that helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather.

What do you mean by adaptation?

  • "A body part or feature or a behavior that helps a living thing survive and function better in its environment is called adaptations."
  • For example: to reduce transpiration the leaves of desert plant transformed into spines, to survive in a cold climate polar bears have developed thick furs and extra layer of adipose tissue under their skin to keep their body temperature normal.

What is homeostasis?

  • "A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly."

Hence, thick fur and fats helps polar bear to adapt in cold weather.
