How does the climate of the northeast affect the people animal and plants live there?

Because the climate in Illinois can, especially during the winter, be harsh, plants and animals have had to adapt. With global warming, plants and animals have had to adapt to the earlier arrival of spring, unpredictable changes in weather patterns, and for plants and animals living in the Chicago Wilderness, the wetlands are drying out threatening the existence of unique plants and animals that live there.


Explain how a global temperature increase could affect plants?

A global temperature increase can affect plants by altering their growth patterns, flowering times, and the distribution of plant species. Some plants may struggle to adapt to changing temperatures, leading to reduced yields or increased susceptibility to pests and diseases. Extreme heat can also cause heat stress in plants, leading to wilting and reduced photosynthesis.


Is there any place in the world where plants do not grow?

Plants have three basic requirements to grow: sunlight, air and water. Wherever all these three requirements are fulfilled you will find plants growing there. In case, any of these prerequisites are not fully available, the plants show an amazing ability to adapt. They can adapt to any new environment in a very short period of time. Some plants possess amazing charateristics as a result of this adaptability eg. the pitcher plant (Nepenthes distillatoria). We came across plants in almost all regions of the earth, ie. in water, grasslands, deserts, tropical as well temperate regions. Plants are even seen growing in Taiga and Tundra regions. Only places where plants have not been observed are the extreme cold areas of Arctic and Antarctic regions. This is probably because these areas are permanently frozen and the plants are unable to get water in liquid form. References Plant adaptations http://www.mbgnet.net/bioplants/adapt.html


What does tropism usually involve?

Tropism usually involves the growth or movement of an organism in response to a stimulus, such as light, gravity, or touch. It is a crucial mechanism for plants to adapt to their environment and optimize their chances of survival and reproduction.


What if a rainforest goes through a drought?

The trees and shrubs will die and the water will dry up. The organisms that live there (animals, plants, bacteria, fungi) will have to adapt to less water. If they don't adapt, they will die out. And the organisms that adapt will have different characteristics than the organisms that did not adapt and live in different regions.
