Question:

d. What are the adaptations seen in

animals living in deserts to withstand  the extreme climatic conditions?

Answer:

The two main adaptations that desert animals must make are how to deal with lack of water and how to deal with extremes in temperature. Many desert animals avoid the heat of the desert by simply staying out of it as much as possible.

Animals found in the desert also show various adaptations. Camels store fat in their hump. This helps them survive for a long time without food and water. Reptiles such as snakes come in the open only at dawn or dusk. Some small desert animals live in burrows to escape the heat.

Question:

e. Explain the adaptations of plants to  air?​

Answer:

It is hard to imagine air being in short supply. And, in most cases, availability of air isn't a limiting factor in plant growth.

Most plants take in air through their leaf stomata. But, as we have already discussed, roots also need air.

Plants growing in swampy regions have evolved some interesting ways to cope with oxygen-deficient soils.
