Describe three adaptations of xerophytes (Desert plants). Be sure that your descriptions explain how each adaptation is an advantage in an arid environment.
Xerophytes have developed three main adaptive stages and are morphological and physiological characteristics that enable an organism to survive under condition of water deficit.
1. Succulence :-
Advantage :- xerophytes such as cacti are capable of withstanding extended periods of dry condition as they have deep spreading roots and capacity to store water and the leaves are waxy and thorny that prevents loss of water and moisture and even their fleshy stems can store water.
They are draught resistant plants in which the leaves ,stem or roots have become more than usually fleshy by the development of water storing tissue .plant adapted to living in dry environments such as succulents termed as xerophytes.
2. Drought tolerance :- it is the ability of plants to endure low tissue water content through adaptive traits.
Advantage :- adapting to draught avoidance is their saving grace but they also have modified other aspect of their form too. Storing moisture and preventing it from being lost from open pores another.
3. Drought avoidance :- it is the ability of plants to maintain higher tissue water content and reduce water content in the soil.
Advantage:- They may be dormant during draught conditions and known as draught evaders .Shrubs which grow in arid and semi arid regions are also xeromorohic.
Ephemerals are the draught escaping kind and not true xerophytes and plants which survive draught are small and weak.

Describe three adaptations of hydrophytes (aquatic plants). Be sure that your descriptions explain how each adaptation is an advantage in an aquatic environment
Xerophytes are plants that are able to grow in arid environments. Explain how the following adaptations of xerophytes would recuce traspiration rates and enhance these plants' survival in arid regions: thick cuticle, sunken stomata (stomata are found in cavities), leaf surface covered with dense mat of trichomes.
. Describe why CAM plants have an advantage over C3 plants in the desert and why C4 plants have an advantage over C3 plants in tropical climates. (Be sure to discuss the relevance of photosynthetic enzymes and their location, photorespiration, water use efficiency, and stomatal behavior and leaf anatomy.) 4. Thinking about anatomy, morphology, and “behavior” describe ways that plant leaves are adapted to intercepting light, increasing CO2 diffusion while reducing water loss. 5. In general terms, describe the characteristics...
identify two anti-predator/anti-herbivory adaptations. for each adaptation explain how it protects the prey species from predators/herbivores. and explain how these adaptations arose via natural selection. include the definition of natural selection
4. What does "scientific adaptation" mean? How is it different from the way we use the term "adaptation" in everyday language? 5. What two processes are necessary for adaptation to occur? 6. Genetic variation occurs randomly and increases the diversity of a population. Natural selection is nonrandom and decreases the diversity of a population. How do these two processes work together to produce adaptations in populations over time? 7. What are two possible outcomes of adaptations in lineages over time?...
In 3-4 sentences, describe how the skin is part of both, our biological and cultural adaptations. Include a short definition of the term "adaptation" in your answer.
5. Photosynthetic adaptations to extreme environments Aa Aa Rubisco carries out photorespiration when the ratio of O2 to CO2 is too high. As a result, certain plants have adaptations meant to keep this ratio low in tissue locations where their photosynthetic cells need to use Rubisco. The following image describes how when these two sets of events occu plants prevent photorespiration. Label the image by identifying where or C3 Carbohydrate M Sunlight ATP HANN and and C-c-c- NADPH GGGG NADPH...

CLCU 5) What is a phenotype? 6) What determines traits we can see in an organism? 7) How is camouflage an adaptation? 8) How does it benefit an individual to have adaptations to the environment? 9) How does a changing environment affect which traits are passed on in a population? o e
1. Describe how the process of natural selection works, and how it results in adaptations (Darwin's Observations and Conclusions) • How does unequal reproductive success lead to natural selection? What are adaptations? Explain Darwin’s observations and conclusions. • Describe evolution by natural selection? What are some important points about evolution? 2. Describe examples of and evidence for evolution by natural selection that can be seen in your daily life. 3. Discuss the different kinds of evidence that support the theory...
For the marketing mix make sure you describe in detail your brand (E SCOOTER, los angeles based company) which you are taking to Japan. product offering with USP and branding considerations. Discuss your approach re: standardization or adaptation, particularly adaptations required for packaging considerations. price point for your brand, be specific and justify your suggested price; talk about how your distribution channel will affect the final price. Discuss how foreign exchange rates and purchasing power parity might affect your pricing....
