Questions: What adaptations does a cactus have in order to survive in the desert?
it has spins for animals not to eat it and its spins collect water.
Leaves
Question: what part of the plant Bend to the direction of sunlight in order to make food?
Question: what is Structural adaptations?
the way something is built or made.
Question: what is Behavioral adaptations?
the way something acts naturally or by instinct.
1. Behavioral Adaptation (to get food)
Plants lean or grow towards the sun.
Roots grow down into soil.
Vines climb up trees to catch sunlight.
1.Question: how do plants adapt in the desert?
1. Small leaves or spines on plants to conserve water.
2. Desert Adaptations
2. Thick waxy skins holds in water.
3. Desert Adaptations
3. Roots Near soils surface soak up rainwater quickly before it evaporates.
1. Grassland Adaptations
1. Deep roots help plants survive prairie fires.
Narrow leaves lose less water than broad leaves.
Flexible stems bend in the wind.
2. Grassland Adaptations
2. Narrow leaves lose less water than broad leaves.
3. Grassland Adaptation
3. Flexible stems bend in the wind.
1. Tundra Adaptations
1. Small plants grow close to the ground for warmth.
2. Tundra Adaptations
2. Dark colored flowers absorb heat from the sun.
3. Tundra Adaptations
3. Fuzzy stems provide protection from wind.
1. Rainforest Adaptations
1. Smooth, slippery bark keeps vines from killing trees.
2. Rainforest Adaptations
2. Slide shaped leaves lets rain run off so fungus doesn't grow on plants.
Water Adaptations
Flexible stems move with water currents.
Floating seeds spread offspring.
Structural Adaptation (to get food)
Leaves and stems absorb energy from the sun.
Structural adaptations ( for reproduction)
Sweet fruit attracts animals that spread seeds far away.
Some seeds are shaped to catch the wind.
Behavior Adaptations (for reproduction)
Plants drop seeds to grow new offspring.
