To stay buoyant, some aquatic animals have a thick layer of fat. Seals store their fat under their skin. (Option a)

  • The fat depositing layers situated just beneath the skin or between internal organs are known as adipose layers or adipose tissues.
  • They operate as a good insulator and prevent heat loss from the body.
  • Cold-blooded animals and cold-water fish have a thicker layer of adipose fat to keep heat in their bodies and maintain body temperature.
  • The less heat is lost from the body, the thicker the layer of fat deposits is.
  • It's the only way their body can save energy.
  • It acts as padding, protecting their muscles and bones from the shock of falls or impacts.
  • It connects their skin and muscles by providing a pathway for nerves and blood vessels.
  • It shields their body and aids with temperature regulation.
