C. Give one reason for the following statements.
a. Trees found in cold regions have needle like leaves.
b. Lions living in grassland have light brown body colour.
c. Frogs have webbed feet.
Answers
(a)The simple answer is that it has leaves like that because it has to survive in cold areas of the world. ... The leaves actually have a special coating on their leaves comprising of special enzymes, so that it does not get affected by the snow in direct contact with the leaves for half the year.
(b)Lion skin is light brown in colour and this light brown colour acts as a camouflage with the same colour of dry grassland when they hunt other animals. ... This camouflage is necessary to get the prey otherwise they would never be able to catch the prey.
(c)Webbed feet assist them in swimming. Frogs who have them swim faster. They create more surface area, allowing the frogs to apply more force against the surrounding water. ... As the frog strikes backward with his leg, the webbed foot opens, creating a dam against the water.
