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 plants cannot survive in the desert?
Desert plants have adapted to the extremes of heat and aridity by using both physical and behavioral mechanisms.
How are cactus and prickly pear able to survive in the desert while tea plants cannot?
they are succulents and retain water in their leaves.
How are the larvae of cabbage butterflies able to feed on plants that have defensive chemicals?
They feed on other plants that counter the effects of the defensive chemicals
Why are plants able to survive and adapt to this kind of weather?
the main plants in a desert are "succulents" (cacti and other) which hold their water in their leaves
What Plants did hadrosaurid dinosaurs eat?
Hadrosaurs were able to eat tough vegetation because of the adaptations that allowed them to chew. Plants they ate may have included conifers, cycads, ferns, horsetails, and early grasses.
Why plants growing on hills have cones not flowers?
Not all trees on hills are conifers. Many trees have leaves instead of needles. As you get higher in altitude, however, the deciduous trees are less hardy and you only find conifers because their needles are better able to stand the altitude and the weather on mountains.
How does a taxonomist decide whether 2 plants are members of the same species or too closely related species?
the definiton of a species is two organisms that have changed from each other so much that they cannot have any viable offspring. So basically they cannot mate.So a taxonomist would be able to tell if the two plants were of the same species or not by polinating one with the other, like how bees pollinate plants, and see if they produced seeds and then if those seeds were able to produce mature plants.
Are plants able to live with other plants?
yes it can,like for example "fern"

What did a Protoceratops eat?
Protoceratops was an herbivore. They lived in the Gobi Desert around 70 million years ago. In general, ceratopsians ate cycads and conifers. Cycads today are known to be able to survive in semidesert climates, so there is a good chance that they made up a lot of the diet of Protoceratops.
