Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 93TE
Some animals that live in desert environments, such as this kangaroo rat, never drink water. Kangaroo rats live entirely on the starches and lipids in the dry seeds they eat. Yet we know that all living organisms need water, and, in fact, the bodies of kangaroo rats have about the same water content as those of other animals. How do kangaroo rats get their water?
