Plants are adapted to their environment for growth, reproduction and sustaining life there after. For this there are certain modifications in the structure and function. For example xerophytic plants develop better vasculature and water conservation characterstics.

What term is given to a plant adapted to living in cold environment?

Cold-adapted plants are often referred to as "cold-tolerant" or "cold-hardy" plants. These plants have special adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in cold environments, such as the ability to undergo dormancy or store energy reserves in their roots.


Non-vascular plants have adapted for survival by all of these methods EXCEPT?

Non-vascular plants have adapted for survival by developing specialized structures like rhizoids for anchorage and absorbing water, utilizing spores for reproduction, and living in moist habitats to reproduce. One adaptation non-vascular plants do not have is the presence of vascular tissues for efficient water and nutrient transport.


What mammals live in the water and how do they adapt to their aquatic environment?

Aquatic mammals, such as dolphins, whales, and seals, live in the water and have adapted to their environment in various ways. They have streamlined bodies for efficient swimming, blubber for insulation, and special adaptations for diving and hunting underwater. Their lungs and circulatory systems are also adapted to help them hold their breath for long periods of time.


What is meaning of mesophyte?

A mesophyte is a plant that grows in habitats with moderate water availability. These plants typically thrive in environments where there is neither excess water nor drought conditions. Mesophytes are adapted to receive just the right amount of water to support their growth and development.


Fire-tolerant plants belong to the chaparral biome?

Yes, fire-tolerant plants are well-adapted to the frequent fires that occur in the chaparral biome. These plants often have characteristics such as thick, fire-resistant bark or the ability to quickly regenerate after a fire, allowing them to thrive in this fire-prone environment.
