Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Most desert animals will drink water if confronted with it, but many of them never have any
opportunity. All living things must have water, or they will expire. The herbivores find it in desert plants.
The carnivores slake their thirst with the flesh and blood of living prey. One of the most remarkable
adjustments, however, has been made by the tiny kangaroo rat, who not only lives without drinking but
subsists on a diet of dry seeds containing about 5% free water. Like other animals, he has the ability to
manufacture water in his body by a metabolic conversion of carbohydrates. But he is notable for the
parsimony with which he conserves his small supply by every possible means, expending only minuscule
amounts in his excreta and through evaporation from his respiratory tract.
Investigation into how the kangaroo rat can live without drinking water has involved various
experiments with these small animals. Could kangaroo rats somehow store water in their bodies and
slowly utilize these resources in the long periods when no free water is available from dew or rain? The
simplest way to settle this question was to determine the total water content in the animals to see if it
decreases as they are kept for long periods on a dry diet. If they slowly use up their water, the body should
become increasingly dehydrated, and if they begin with a store of water, this should be evident from an
initial high water content. Results of such experiments with kangaroo rats on dry diets for more than 7
weeks showed that the rats maintained their body weight. There was no trend toward a decrease in water
content during the long period of water deprivation. When the kangaroo rats were given free access to
water, they did not drink water. They did nibble on small pieces of watermelon, but this did not change
appreciably the water itent in their bodies, which remained at 66.3 % to 67.2 % during this period.

This is very close to the water content of dry-fed animals (66.5 %), and the availability of free
water, therefore, did not lead to any “storage” that could be meaningful as a water reserve. This makes it
reasonable to conclude that physiological storage of water is not a factor in the kangaroo rat’s ability to
live on dry food.
