Question

Salt glands allow desert animals to reduce their water loss due to _______. a. respiration b. transpiration c. evaporation d. urination please select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Answer 1

b. transpiration

Step-by-step explanation:

Transpiration is the process by which water is lost from the surface of plants and animals in the form of vapor. In desert environments where water is scarce, it is crucial for animals to conserve water. Salt glands allow these animals to excrete excess salt through their nostrils or other specialized structures which helps maintain water balance and reduce the amount of water lost during transpiration.
