Bilbies live in semi-arid areas, so they rarely need to drink water directly, being able to fulfil their moisture needs with the seeds, fungi, insects and larvae which they eat.
Definitely not. Habitat loss around the Bremer River, the main river through the city of Ipswich, means the bilby could not survive in that area.
Leafless plants have developed adaptations such as storing water in their stems, reducing water loss through specialized structures, and relying on photosynthesis in their stems or roots to survive in their environment.
A bilby has very concentrated urine as an adaptation to its arid habitat, allowing it to conserve water efficiently. This ability is crucial for survival in environments where water is scarce, as it enables the bilby to minimize water loss through excretion. By producing concentrated urine, bilbies can maintain hydration and thrive in their dry surroundings.
The crawling cactus adapts to its environment by storing water in its stems, reducing water loss through its spines, and spreading out to access more sunlight. These adaptations help it survive and thrive in harsh conditions.
Coastal desert plants have adaptations like deep root systems to access water, thick waxy coatings to reduce water loss, and small leaves to minimize water loss through evaporation. These adaptations help them survive in the hot and dry conditions of their environment.
High humidity reduces water loss by the body, thus keeping the animal cooler in hot conditions.
As bilbies live in semi-arid areas, they rarely need to drink water directly, being able to fulfil their moisture needs with the seeds, fungi, insects and larvae which they eat. However, these other organisms rely on water to grow; if the region becomes too arid, the bilbies lose their source of food.
its the pennni system
They minimize water loss
Okay so the cuticle slows a plant's loss of water..... A cuticle is a waxy, protective layer that slows the loss of water. The cuticle is a structure that helps plants survive on land
CAM plants include succulents and cacti and are specifically designed to survive in very dry, arid environments. They only open their stomata at night, thereby reducing water loss through the leaves while obtaining CO2. C4 plants would not "survive" as well as a CAM plant in a very dry environment but they would surely do much better than C3 plants, which lose 97% of their water intake right back out of their leaves through transpiration. C4 plants fix CO2 twice instead of only once to more effectively use water.
Cacti perform photosynthesis in their stems, which have adapted to store water and reduce water loss in their arid environment.
