Study Notes
Additional Information
- Acquired materials are transported throughout plants due to a process called translocation
- In dry and hot environments plants adapt by wilting, minimising surface area exposed to the sun, for example wilted maize indicates dry conditions
- Water lilies have adapted to the environment due to their anchored roots, floating leaves and raised flowers which are exposed for pollination
- Plants can grow in water up to a certain depth because light must reach the leaves for photosynthesis
- Water weeds are sustained by water, and other water based organisms are also able to live by or within them
- Plants have adapted to the environment due to specialized stem, leaf and root structures
- Mangroves exist due to their aerial roots that are commonly found in coastal areas
- Estivation is a state where animals go dormant to survive the summer
- Camels store fat in their hump, which is metabolized into water and energy
- Animals in colder climates have developed a mechanism of adapting by creating fat layers to prevent heat loss
- Reptiles avoid enemies by rolling like dead animals (i.e. millipedes) and hiding, for example a tortoise hides its extremities in shell to avoid conflict
- It improves likelihood of survival as adaptation allows protection from threats and enemies
- Species colonization is encouraged and enables survival in differing conditions depending on their adaptation
Studying That Suits You
Use AI to generate personalized quizzes and flashcards to suit your learning preferences.
Description
Explore the interplay between biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components of the environment. Understand the roles of plants and animals. Learn about photosynthesis, food storage in plants, and the significance of herbivores.
