Study Notes
Adaptations for Survival
- Thick layers of fat and fur, or blubber, help to insulate and keep warm in the Arctic environment
- White coloration for camouflage in snowy habitats
- Specialized physical features, such as compact bodies, short ears, and tails, reduce heat loss
Characteristics of Seeds
- Seeds are embryonic plants surrounded by a protective coat
- They are designed for dispersal and germination in a new location
- Seeds are produced by flowering plants, such as angiosperms and gymnosperms
- Seeds are NOT a type of fruit
Function of Fruits
- The primary function of a fruit is to protect and disperse seeds
- Fruits develop from the ovary of a flower and contain seeds
Nocturnal Organisms
- Nocturnal organisms are active at night and rest or sleep during the day
- Characteristics of nocturnal organisms include enhanced senses, such as hearing and smell, and adaptations for low-light conditions
Pollen Formation
- In angiosperms, pollen formation occurs in the anthers of flowers
