Plants in hot deserts adapt by having deep root systems to access water, small leaves to reduce water loss through transpiration, and the ability to store water in their tissues. Animals adapt by being nocturnal to avoid the heat, having efficient water conservation mechanisms, and having specialized body coverings to reflect sunlight and regulate body temperature. Both plants and animals in hot deserts have evolved these adaptations over time to survive in the harsh, arid conditions.

How do animals adapt in the epipelagic zone?

The epipelagic zone is uppermost part of the oceanic zone to allow for photosynthesis. Animals and life in this region must adapt to lower levels of sunlight and reduced oxygen use.


What does climate have to do with the kinds of animals that live an area?

Climate along with other factors of a region have effects on the animals and plants inhabiting it. Plants and animals are known to adapt to their surroundings. If a terrain has a hot climate and rarely rains then animals adapt by coming out at night, storing water, or perhaps a more elongated body so to stay cool. An example of an animal adapted is a black-tailed jackrabbit to desert life because of its long ears it stays cool and hears predators. A polar bear is another good example of a species adapting to its surroundings. Polar bears inhabitate cold regions and due to this have thick, white fur and a large body mass so to stay warm. Hope this helps.


Why do animals depend on plants?

Animals depend on plants for food, as they provide essential nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Additionally, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, which animals need to breathe. Some animals also rely on plants for shelter and nesting materials.


Were do plants and animals live?

Plants and animals are not similar however they do affect each other. Plants make their own food using photosynthesis. Animals must consume other organisms to get their nutrients. Plants also do not have nervous systems, while Animals do. They are also in completely separate kingdoms of life (animals are in anamalia, plants are in plantae).

Plants from what division are well suited for desert life?

Plants from the division Magnoliophyta (angiosperms) are well-suited for desert life due to their ability to adapt to extreme conditions, such as drought and high temperatures.
