DEFINITION OF ADAPTATION

An adaptation is a change in an organism that help it survive and reproduce in its environment.

ORIt may be also defined as..The adjustment or changes in

behavior ,structureand physiology of an organism to

become moreSuited to environment.

ADAPTATION OF PLANTS IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL

CONDITIONS Desert plantsThe desert plants store

water in fleshy leaves ,stems and roots. e.g. cactus

Some desert plants have very long root which enters in the soil very deep.

Desert plants have spines which reduces the water loss

due to transpiration.

PLANTS IN MOUNTAINS Leaves are small and

tough so not likely to be damaged by snow or hail.

They have tough covered seeds that can survive cold .

Roots grow deep so it can cope with the strong winds.

Trees grow triangular in shape so snow can fall from it .

PLANTS IN PLAINS Plants in plains are

generally adapted to both dry and extreme temperature.

Grasses dominate the landscape.

Short and strong roots are present.

Shrubs are present in the plains.

PLANTS INSIDE OCEANS In oceans planktons

are plants floats ,they are able to do photosynthesis.

Plants which floats on surface have developed air pockets in there leaves.

ADAPTATION IN ANIMALS LIVING IN DESERT

These animals live in burrows to avoid the sun. e.g. kangaroos.

Animals intake water from other sources like there food also.

Scorpions have outer hard skin to reduce water loss.

Camels store fat in hump and water in long neck ,and also have cushioned foot .

ADAPTATION IN ANIMALS LIVING IN MOUNTAINS

These animals have developed fur for the purpose of insulation.

These animals have thick layer of fat on them which give them heat.

Bears undergo hibernation during winter season.

Increased lung capacity.

ADAPTATION IN ANIMALS LIVING IN PLAINS

Migrations for the food and water.

Living in burrows to save them from predators.

Living in herds. They use camouflage

to blend in with their surroundings and have grass-colored tan fur.

ADAPTATION IN ANIMALS LIVING IN OCEANS

Some animals use camouflage to escape and avoid detection.

Some animals have coloration which intentionally makes them hidden.

Some animals have dangerous spines or venom for protection.

Fishes have gills for breathing.
