Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Camels, often called "ships of the desert," have adapted remarkably to survive the harsh conditions of arid environments. One key adaptation is their ability to conserve water. Unlike many animals, camels can tolerate significant water loss, up to 30% of their body weight, without suffering severe consequences. They achieve this through various mechanisms, including concentrated urine production and minimal sweating.
Their iconic humps, often mistakenly thought to store water, actually serve as fat reserves. This fat provides energy and helps regulate body temperature, crucial in extreme desert heat. Moreover, their unique red blood cells, oval-shaped and highly elastic, allow for efficient oxygen transport even when dehydrated.
These remarkable adaptations have made camels invaluable for desert trade routes for centuries. Their strength and endurance enable them to carry heavy loads across vast distances with minimal resources. From the Silk Road to ancient Arabian trade, camels facilitated the exchange of goods, knowledge, and culture, shaping civilizations and connecting distant lands.
Today, while modern transportation methods have diminished their traditional roles, camels remain vital in certain regions. They continue to support nomadic communities, provide sustenance, and offer a sustainable alternative for transport and tourism in fragile desert ecosystems.
