Briefly state the problems that animals faced in their adaptation to land. What will be an ideal response?
Because animals evolved in a moist environment, they had to adapt to the drying effects of the
atmosphere, so they had to develop an outer skin covering for protection. They also had to develop a
means to extract oxygen from the atmosphere rather than from water. Because animals need mobility
to find food, they also had to develop a means of locomotion, and a skeletal structure for support
against gravity. Finally, their reproductive system had to combat the problems of desiccation of
unprotected eggs
