Question

The hump of camel helps in storing

• A. Water
• B. Grass
• C. Fat
• D. Urine

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Fat

A camel is adapted for xeric (desert) conditions. The following adaptations are found in a camel:

1. Its hooves are covered by a large sole which helps it to move on the hot slippery sand.

2. It has a hump on the back which is filled with fat. This food is utilized when the camel does not get anything to eat.

3. Water gets evenly distributed in different parts of its body and not in a specific pocket or an organ.

4. It excretes very little water from its body.

So, the answer is C.
