What behavioural adaptation does a desert fox have to help it survive in hot places

Biology
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
7 0
1. Their large ears help dissipate excess body heat on hot days in the desert. 2. The fennec fox seems to be the only carnivore living in the Sahara Desert able to survive without free water. Their kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss, their extensive burrowing may cause the formation of dew, which can then be consumed, and they will receive moisture from the food that they eat. 3. Their burrowing and nocturnal lifestyle helps restrict water loss. 4. Their thick fur helps insulate them from the cold desert nights. 5. Their sandy fur helps to reflect heat, and also provides excellent camouflage. 6. Fennec foxes also have thick fur on the soles of their feet, which insulate against the hot sand of the desert. This extra fur on the soles of their feet also affords them excellent traction in the loose sand.

How is the energy of a nuclear reactor converted to electricity? The nuclear reactions produce electrical energy directly. Heat
timofeeve [1]

Nuclear power plants use the nuclear fission reaction to release energy and generate electricity through energy conversion. Take the pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant as an example to illustrate its working principle.

In the pressurized water reactor, a large amount of heat is generated by the self-sustaining chain fission reaction of the nuclear fuel nucleus. The coolant (also called the heat carrier) brings the heat in the reactor to the steam generator and transfers the heat to the working medium, water. The main circulation pump then delivers the coolant back to the reactor for recycling, thereby forming a circuit called the first circuit. This process is also the energy conversion process of nuclear fission energy converted into thermal energy.

The working medium on the secondary side of the U-tube outside the steam generator is vaporized by heat to form steam. The steam enters the steam turbine to expand work, and converts the heat energy released by the steam enthalpy into the mechanical energy of the rotor of the steam turbine. This process is called thermal energy conversion to mechanical energy. The energy conversion process. The steam that has done work is condensed into condensed water in the condenser and returned to the steam generator to form another circulation loop called the second loop. This process is called the energy conversion process of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The rotating rotor of the steam turbine directly drives the rotor of the generator to rotate, so that the generator emits electric energy, which is an energy conversion process that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
