Required

1

Place each organism in the correct category.

Required

Match the adaptation type to the adaptation.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Swimming adaptations		Have a high tolerance to lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Their muscles can work anaerobically (without oxygen) while they hold their breath.

Match the adaptation type to the adaptation.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Swimming adaptations		Have a high tolerance to lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Their muscles can work anaerobically (without oxygen) while they hold their breath.
Thermoregulation		A large body with a small surface-to-volume ratio reduces heat loss. Blubber or thick underfur is used as insulation.
Sensory adaptation		Drag is reduced by hydrodynamic body forms.
Water Conservation		Most marine mammals rarely drink fresh water; instead, they: Utilize water present in their food, inspired air, and blubber.
Deep diving		Marine mammals communicate underwater with sound, and many species use sound (echolocation) to locate prey.
