Question

Animals of colder region and fishes of cold water have thick layer of subcutaneous fat. Discuss.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Subcutaneous fat is the adipose tissues that are present below the skin or between internal organs that are responsible for reducing heat loss from the body.
2. Animals from colder regions and fishes in cold water have a thick layer of subcutaneous fat because a thick layer of fat can resist heat in their body and therefore protects their body by maintaining the temperature.
3. Thus, in colder regions, the subcutaneous fat layer protects the animals from low temperatures by maintaining their body temperature.
