The coccus would be better suited for a dry environment. A sphere has less surface area for the volume, as such, less moisture will be lost by osmosis in a dry environment. In a moist environment, the higher surface area to volume ratio of a rod shaped bacterium will allow greater efficiency in transferring water and solutes into and out of the cell, making it possible for a rod shaped cell to have a higher metabolic rate, all other things being equal.

What biome is extremly cold and dry?

"Fitness refers to an organism's capability to survive and reproduce in its environment. It is a measure of how well an individual's traits contribute to its reproductive success and overall survival."
An inherited characteristic that increases an organisms ability to survive and reproduce in its specific environment is called a?
An inherited characteristic that increases an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its specific environment is called an adaptation. Adaptations help organisms better suit their environment and increase their chances of survival and reproduction.
What plants cannot survive in the deciduous forest?
Plants that require constant warmth and sunlight, such as tropical plants, may struggle to survive in the deciduous forest due to its seasonal changes in temperature and light availability. Additionally, plants that are adapted to extremely dry or extremely wet conditions may also find it challenging to thrive in the deciduous forest environment.
What is necessary for living things to survive?
Living things need access to food, water, and a suitable environment to survive. They also need to be able to reproduce to ensure the continuation of their species. Additionally, living things need to be able to adapt to changes in their environment to survive long-term.

Can freshwater snails survive outside of water?
Freshwater snails cannot survive for long periods outside of water because they need a moist environment to breathe and move around. They may be able to survive short periods out of water, but they will eventually dry out and die if not returned to a watery environment.
What is a dry region without trees?
A dry region without trees or water is called a desert. Plants and animals need special adaptations in order to survive in this harsh environment.
