Which of the following adaptations is typical of marine mammals?
Elodia [21]

I believe the answer is a. thick layer of blubber


Mammal is an warm-blooded animal that need to keep their body warm. Organ that could insulate the heat would be beneficial to keep the temperature, like layer of fat or thick fur. The example of marine mammals would be dolphin, whale, sea lion and polar bear. Thick fur will not give much benefit for mammals in water, so only polar bear have thick fur. But all of them has thick layer of blubber, so option A will be the most appropriate.

mixer [17]

Answer:

The answer is "Carbohydrate" and "Protein"

Explanation:

A solid eating regimen incorporates protein and starches. Why? Since these mixes are two of the primary structure obstructs that make your body. You get these structure blocks from the food that you eat, and you utilize these structure squares to make the natural mixes important forever.

The principle substance parts of living beings are known as natural mixes. Natural mixes are atoms worked around the component carbon (C). Living things are comprised of exceptionally huge particles.

These huge particles are called macro-molecules since "macro" signifies large; they are made by more modest molecules holding together. Our body gets these more modest particles, the "building blocks" or monomers, of natural atoms from the food we eat.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.
