Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compression of elastic material allows for the storage and release of energy, which is crucial for animals that jump. This adaptation helps them to efficiently use their energy for jumping, by storing energy during the compression phase and releasing it as they jump, effectively opposing gravity.
