What plants can retain water for long periods of time?
Succulents, such as cacti and aloe vera, are known for their ability to retain water due to their thick, fleshy leaves and stems that store water. Other plants that can retain water are snake plants, jade plants, and ZZ plants, which have adaptations to survive in dry conditions by storing water in their leaves or rhizomes.
what is the balance plants maintain to prevent them from losing too much water?
Plants use to keep balance in the rate of transpiration by leaves and absorption of water by the roots. If transpiration increases and absorption does not increase, the young leaves start wilting so that the rate of transpiration can be mi minimized.

What are the desert plants' adaptations?
All plants living in the desert are able to live with little water. They have adaptations that permit them to survive in almost permanent drought conditions. Some plants can store water in times of plenty to use in times when little rain falls. Some plants have long tap roots that are able to go deep below the surface where water is available. Some plants basically shut down during droughts and revive again when it rains.Cacti and other succulents store water.Mesquites are an example of a plant with a long tap root.Creosote bush and ocotillo shut down until water is available.

Nonvascular plants must have adaptations to keep them from?
Nonvascular plants lack the complex vascular system found in vascular plants, making it challenging to transport water and nutrients. To prevent drying out, nonvascular plants have evolved adaptations like growing in damp environments, having a small size to reduce water loss, and absorbing water directly through their cells. These adaptations help nonvascular plants survive in their habitats despite their limited ability to transport water and nutrients.

What adaptations are on the fur of a sea otter?
The fur of a sea otter grows so closely together, that it is waterproof. It also traps tiny pockets of air, and the air acts as an insulator, helping to keep the otter from losing heat into the water.

What kind of plants are in the Mojave Desert?
1. Roots are shallow and spread over a large area to collect as much water as possible. 2. Plants can store nutrients and water needed. 3. Have thorns instead of leaves to minimize water loss and keep animals away.
How do plants in tropical rainforest minimise losing moisture through transpiration due to the high temperatures?
Even though it is hot, it rains every day and it is humid so there is little worry of losing moisture. Very high trees that get lots of sun tend to have leathery leaves which aid in keep moisture in. The majority of the trees have smooth, thin bark because there is no need to protect the plant from water loss and freezing temperatures. Rainforests plants have made many adaptations to their environment. With over 80 inches of rain per year, plants have made adaptations that help them shed water off their leaves quickly so the branches don't get weighed down and break. Many plants have drip tips and grooved leaves, and some leaves have oily coatings to shed water. Leaves in the upper canopy are dark green, small and leathery to reduce water loss in the strong sunlight. Some trees will grow large leaves at the lower canopy level and small leaves in the upper canopy.
