Camels are remarkably adapted to survive in the harsh, hot, and dry conditions of the
desert. Their survival depends on a combination of physical features and unique
physiological methods to save water. From specialized feet that prevent them from
sinking into the sand to the ability to withstand high body temperatures, every part of a
camel’s biology is fine-tuned for the desert environment. [4]

26. Case based Questions

Air surrounds the Earth in the form of a thick layer known as the atmosphere. It is a mixture of
gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide along with water vapour and dust particles.
Nitrogen is essential for plant growth, oxygen supports respiration and burning, while carbon
dioxide is required by plants for photosynthesis. Dust particles and water vapour play an
important role in weather changes and rainfall. The presence of atmosphere makes life possible
on Earth. [1+1+2]

a) Name the gas that supports combustion.
