Answer» A.The lotus plants have hollow and spongy stem filled with air. This makes them light and helps them to float on waterB.Water can be reabsorbed from the bladder resulting in postrenal concentration of urine; insoluble uric acid can be excreted which allows for water conservationC.Penguin feathers are short, overlapping and densely packed. The outer part of the FEATHER is waterproof while the inner down section traps an insulating layer of air, keeping the penguin warm in the sometimes FREEZING water. D.the fish hangs motionless in the water, with its body in a horizontal position and its EYES LOOKING upward. The green pigments in its eyes may filter out sunlight coming directly from the SEA surface, helping the barreleye spot the bioluminescent glow of jellies or other animals directly overheadExplanation:hope this helps |
