Question

Differentiate between aquatic and volant adaptation

Answer 1

Answer:

Aquatic adaptations allow aquatic animals to survive in water. Volant adaptations allow animals to lead an aerial life. Fish, whales and dolphins have aquatic adaptations. Birds and bats have volant adaptations.

Volant adaptation refers to the adaptations done by those animals which have an aerial mode of life or spend most of their time flying. They need to maintain their body in air and adapt for propulsion as well.

Adaptations maybe be for passive gliding or active true flight.

Passive gliding : no propulsion. Just jumping from height and gliding. Modified expanded skin and webbed feet.

Active true flying : involves both sustaining and propulsion. Most adaptations for this type.

Aquatic adaptations are the changes or adjustments in behaviour,physiology or structure of an organism which enable them to live in an aquatic environment.

Answer 2

There are several differences between aquatic and volant adaptation.

Explanation:

• Volant adaptation is the adaptations done by that organism who need to fly to for survival and aquatic adaptation is done by those organisms who survive in water.  
• In Volant adaptation forelimbs are modified into wings, body of birds covered with feathers, flight muscles became strong and bones became light to reduce body weight.
• In aquatic adaptation most organisms have gills that help them in breathing, their body became streamlined to move in water without getting more resistance. Most of them developed fins and paddles to swim.
