How can trichomes affect the rate of transpiration of the leaves of some plants?
In windy areas trichomes reduce evaporation and keep the leaf moist. They also reflect solar radiation and heat.
How does transpiration take place in temperate areas?
Transpiration easily takes place in temperate areas because water is plentiful and the temperature is moderate. Transpiration is tougher in tropical areas because of the high incidences of evaporation and lack of water sources.
How are small leaves an adaptation for plants living in hot areas?
Small leaves have less stomata which means that is less water that is taken from the leaf (transpiration).
Why are plants on a school field not as well adapted then dandelions?
Becuse these plants have been taken out of their natural habitat. Dandelions have evolved to adapt to the conditions in the fields: the plants are adapted to different areas light conditions water conditions, the strenght of the wind etc. I hopw this was helpful!
What are the Adaptations of plants live in hot and dry areas?
Some plants in the desert have adapted by releasing chemicals into the soil so other plants cannot grow. Camels have adapted by being able to store water in their back humps. Some animals are able to survive w/out food or water for long periods of time.

What would be transpiration in the water cycle?
"transpiration" is the loss/evaporation of water into the air by plants. Plants suck up water from the ground by their rots and lose it though their leaves - the loss through the leaves is called transpiration. In areas of dense forrest this has a significant contribution to atmospheric moisture.
Why are certain plants adapted to grow in different areas?
One direction

Why do most animals depend on plants for their energy?
There are certain chemicals that the animal needs to 'recharge' its system. They also have not yet adapted to not relying on plants, like carnivores. Plants are probably abundant in many areas where animals that eat them live.

What is transpiration in tropical areas?
That is loss of moisture through the trees leaves, and through the soil.
Giant cactus explain why would these plants not sirvive in the british climate?
The giant cactus would not survive in the British climate because they are adapted to grow in the arid areas.
How have mammals adapted?
they adapt to wooded areas
How have people adapted to China's mountains and ice caps biome?
People in these areas have adapted by changing diet, clothing, and in shelter. Many thrive in these inhospitable areas.
