Write an adaptation of cactus, camel, and white bear.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an adaptation of a cactus, a camel, and a white bear, seeking to understand how these animals and plants have evolved to thrive in their respective environments.
Answer
Cactus minimizes water loss with no leaves; camels store fat and have adaptations to survive desert; polar bears have fur for camouflage and heat absorption.
The cactus has no leaves and a thick, waxy exterior to minimize water loss. Camels have humps to store fat, wide feet for walking on sand, and adaptations to eat tough plants. Polar bears have white fur for camouflage, black skin to absorb heat, and small ears to minimize heat loss.
Answer for screen readers
The cactus has no leaves and a thick, waxy exterior to minimize water loss. Camels have humps to store fat, wide feet for walking on sand, and adaptations to eat tough plants. Polar bears have white fur for camouflage, black skin to absorb heat, and small ears to minimize heat loss.
More Information
These adaptations allow these organisms to survive in their respective harsh environments by conserving resources and maintaining their body temperatures.
Tips
A common mistake is to overlook behavioral adaptations, like camels minimizing sweating to conserve water.
