How are plants adapted to live in their environments?

Answer 1

Just like people they need water and nutrients, the roots soak up the water they can and they go into the leaves or flowers and the roots take the nutrients out of the dirt or ground and it helps the plant grow :)

Answer 2

Over thousands or millions of years various plants have adapted in order to survive in particular environments.

Example: Cactus developed spines and reduced its leaves in order to survive in a desert.

Example: The Venus Flytrap adapted its leaves to catch insects to supplement its Nitrogen deficient soil

Answer 3

Plants indigenous to South America are collected and moved to a garden in Europe. There are obvious differences in climate, geology and season. How the plants adapt to life in their new environment can then be compared to the plant growing in its indigenous/ endemic environment. Normally a move like this would affect flowering, flowering period and duration as well as the leaf size of the plant. It has not necessarily changed the genetic make up of the plants (or subsequent generations) only the morphology of the plant. If the plants from Europe were treated properly and survived and again transported back to their original location in South America they would revert within a few months or years and look like the local plants again.
It depends on which plant it is, all plants have a way of adapting to their own environment. One adaptation that all plants share is photosynthisis. photosyntisis is the process in which plants make their own food using the abondant matirials around them: water and sunlight. Plants can convert those matirials into sugar that they eat.

Answer 4

Plants have evolved various adaptations to survive in their environments, such as deep root systems to access water, thick waxy cuticles to prevent water loss, and spines or thorns for protection against herbivores. They also exhibit different growth forms, such as succulence in deserts or climbing structures in forests, to better utilize available resources and compete for sunlight and nutrients. Additionally, some plants have specialized reproductive strategies, like wind or insect pollination, to ensure successful reproduction in their specific habitats.

Answer 5

They have adapted to the environment they live in and can survive.

Answer 6

it is used to the sun and it needs that heat to keep it alive.
