Mammals that live in the arctic ocean have a large amount of blubber, which is a fatty tissue just beneath the skin. which statement best relates why these animals have so much blubber? lipids in blubber insulate the animals from cold water. proteins in blubber the animals move to stay warm. carbohydrates in blubber provide all the energy that the animals need to stay warm. nucleic acids build the lipids in blubber, which keep animals warm by regulating cell activities.

The answer is Lipids in blubber insulate the animals from cold water.

During the winter, deep in the Arctic Ocean, water can be colder than 12°C. Thus, animals that live in the Arctic Ocean (or other cold water basements) must have adaptation that will help them survive in such conditions. One way is lipids in blubber that insulate the animals from cold water. Blubber is a thick layer of fat under the skin, thus, it is reach in lipids. It has low thermal conductivity, which means that it is not able to transfer such amounts of heat or cold.
