What are 3 ways that cactus adapt to survive long dry periods?
They store water. They do not have leaves. Their pores only open at night.
How are the requirements for photosynthesis obtained by the plant?
A plant can obtain the requirements for photosynthesis in two ways. One is through its leaves that absorb the necessary sunlight, and the other is through the roots that take up nutrients the plant needs to be able to complete photosynthesis.
What ways are the leaves alike?
by their parts and shapes
In what 4 ways does an organism adapt to it's environment?
4 ways are using the resources they have to build something, i only got 1
How do leaves help plants meet their needs?
Plant leaves have adapted in several ways to not just carry out but enhance photosynthesis in terms of Chemical composition, Shape, Numbers, Placement, Shedding etc. Let's take a brief look at each of these factors:CompositionVirtually all plant leaves have Chlorophyll, which uses the energy from sunlight (electromagnetic radiation) to convert water (draw from the roots) and CO2 (from air) into starch and sugars.ShapeMost plant leaves are flat shape and have a large surface area, which allows them to convert large amounts of water and CO2 into energy required for sustenance and growthNumbersPlants produce leaves in large numbers (relative to stem, branches and other parts). This, combined with their flat surface, improves the probability of a plant being able to conduct sufficient photosynthesis and thus be able to generate enough energy for survivalPlacementPlants leaves are designed to grow in minimally overlapping pattern such that each leaf has a higher likelihood of getting exposed to sunlight. Often plants won't even sprout in dense shade (or under other trees) and will actively change their shape to grow towards sunlightSheddingAt higher latitudes (beyond tropics of Cancer or Capricorn), as winter begins setting in, sunlight available for photosynthesis gets severely reduced. Now, instead of being energy sources for a plant, the leaves only act as energy consumers and become a burden. So the leaves of deciduous plants are designed to fall off. Before they do, they produce the beautiful fall colors, which are a result of massive conversion from starch to sugar in the leaves, which causes the red/yellow/orange pigments in the leaves to become more prominent than green. The plants then go into low growth mode (like hibernation)So you can see that plant leaves have adapted and optimized in several way to handle photosynthesis.
What FOUR ways are there in which the whole leaf can be adapted to carry out photosynthesis?
-Broad leaves -Chlorophyll in chloroplasts -Air spaces in their leaves -Veins in the leaves
What two ways are there in which a leaf is adapted to photosynthesis?
Leaves contain something in their cells called chlorophyll, this allows them to photosynthesise.

How do plants adapt with their habitat?
Some plants can change the angle of their leaves to follow the sun, they also have ways to deal with excess light or water.
How does trees save water?
Trees can save water in lots of ways. They can close the pores on their leaves, which slows the photosynthesis process and gives the leaves a yellow appearance. In the winter time, or in desperate times, they can shed their leaves altogether.
The Navajos' use of hopi ways was an example of their ability to what?
Adapt

How are leaves adapted to its function?
Leaves are adapted to their function in several ways: Because leaves photosynthesis it needs water and carbon dioxide to complete the rection. They have board leaves giving them a big surface area for light to fall on They contain chlorophyll in the chloroplast to absord the sunlight They have air spaces that allow carbon dioxide to get to the cells, and oxygen to leave them be diffusion They have veins, which bring plenty of water to the cells of the leaves (these are called xylem) Hoped this helped :)
What are ways that photosynthesis is important to your survival?
humans arent plants. we dont need photosynthesis
What are ways humans adapt to there environment?
Humans adapt by creating technology that makes life easier
In ways are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?
LILLM
What are special tubes that carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves in a plant?
The tubes are called conductive tissues. There are two main groups: Xylem which transports water from the roots to the stems and leaves, and Phloem which transports the products of photosynthesis (sugars)primarily from the leaves to the rest of the plant
