Introduction: Plants have adaptations to help them survive in harsh environments; Some live in a forests where plants have to find a way to get the sunlight they require‚ some live in an aquatic environments where there is an abundance of water‚ and some live in desert environments where it is dry and very hot. These plants have different adaptations such as leaf size‚ leaf surface‚ stem size‚ and their stress level. In this lab‚ we will be discussing plants from 3 different regions; forest‚ aquatic

Plant Adaptation Investigation Observations Samples of plants were obtained during the campus tour. In order survive in the harsh climate of deserts‚ plants must adapt in function‚ reproduction‚ support‚ and defense. Although plants on campus are watered frequently‚ they live in a mostly xeric environment. Three types of cacti were observed: organ pipe‚ prickly pear‚ and saguaro. The organ pipe contains no leaves and has narrow stems that carry out photosynthesis and store water. Neither the

Animal Adaptation Hypothesis Before my partner and I began our research about animal adaptation we began to think and use common sense. Animal adaptation is very self explanatory.my partner and I came up with the theory that animal adaptation is animals making changes to live better in there environment. What is Animal Adaptation? What is animal adaptation? you might ask An adaptation is a genetic change‚ that helps an organism‚ such as a plant or animal‚ survive in its environment

desert is the home to many plant and animal wildlife. Of course‚ to survive the hot and dry conditions‚ these wildlife have to be specially adapted to capture as much food and water as possible to sustain themselves. In the desert‚ it can get as hot as over 30 degrees in the day and below 16 degrees at night! This project will further explore a few of the plants and animals‚ as well some of their adaptations.

have identical DNA. Sometimes‚ plants are self-pollinated‚ producing seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. Some forests are made entirely of trees originating from one single plant; the original tree spread its roots‚ which later sprouted new trees. When earthworms are cut in half‚ they regenerate the missing parts of their bodies‚ leading to two worms with the same set of genes. However‚ the ability to intentionally create a clone in the animal kingdom by working on the cellular

Many different plant and animal species thrive in the rainforest environment‚ but it is the trees that define the way we see the rainforest. From the air‚ a rainforest looks like an enormous‚ green carpet. The canopy very rarely breaks‚ with no gaps between the trees. Beneath these trees‚ there are thousands of different types of plants. Living amongst the trees‚ vines‚ shrubs‚ ferns‚ and mosses are many different types of animals. These range from the smallest ant to the carnivorous (meat-eating)

Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a

The domestication of plants and animals lead to great change in the development and structuring of communities‚ as the hunter-gatherer lifestyle was slowly replaced by permanent settlements of farmers and villages. We can see that the communities varied greatly dependent on their local ecology‚ the resources available‚ and the time period within which their community was based. The road to agricultural way of life in the MIddle East is characterized by Four distinct stages. It was during the Kebaran

Top 10 Animal Adaptations Living Together Of all the wonderful adaptations in the animal kingdom‚ perhaps the most important is the habit of living together in communal or family groups. Animals can derive a lot of benefit from spending time with other members of the same species. They can help each other find food‚ defend against predators and care for young. Countless species engage in group living‚ either in herds‚ colonies‚ harems‚ complex societies or loose associations. But perhaps the simplest
