Answer 1

Animals that live in the arctic have adapted to their cold environment by producing thick layers of fat, fur, or feathers. As a consequence, they stay warm/ maintain body warmth  due to the concept of insulation.

Explanation:

Thick layers of fat and fur act as insulating layers which prevent the heat from escaping the body. This helps them in maintaining body temperature which is highly essential to keep the metabolic activities in an active state. Insulation is a process which is concerned with reducing heat transfer from material or body.
