Question 12 • Biology

Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather?

Answer
A
white skin
B
finding shade underground
C
three layers of fur
D
blubber

Explanation

Blubber is a thick layer of fat beneath the skin that insulates polar bears and reduces heat loss in cold water and air. This helps keep their internal temperature stable. Three layers of fur also provide insulation, but blubber is the adaptation that best matches the choice for maintaining thermal homeostasis.
