How crucial is the role of the excretory system in the existence of living organisms?
Loggerhead sea turtles are large turtles that live in the
ocean and nest on the Florida coast. The female
loggerhead sea turtle lays more than 100 eggs in the
beach sand. How is laying so many eggs an important
adaptation that helps these turtles to survive?
A) Large nests of eggs help keep the eggs warm enough
to allow more turtles to hatch.
B) The more eggs that are laid, the greater the chance
that more turtles will live to become adults.
C) If many turtles hatch, they can help defend each other
against predators in large numbers.
D) A large number of eggs in one place makes it possible
for the mother to lie on the eggs until they hatch.
