4. T</span><span>hey have adapted to living all or part of their life in the ocean.
5. </span><span>To keep warm in the ocean, most of them depend on a thick layer of blubber (or fat).
6. </span><span>To be able to stay under water for long periods, they store extra oxygen in their muscles and blood.
7. </span><span>They also have more blood than land mammals in proportion to their body sizes, can direct their blood flow to only their vital organs (such as their heart and lungs), and can slow their heartbeat down so they are using less oxygen in a dive.

Hope this helped...Good luck!
The water temperature is the independent variable, and the number of fully cooked eggs is the dependent variable. The number of fully cooked eggs relies on the temperature therefore making it dependent.
