compare and contrast the adaptations of a dart frog and a hosta plant. (please make the sentence at least 3-4 sentences long and understandable)
Answers
Explanation:
CHARACTERISTICS of DART FROG:
1)Poison Dart frogs live in rainforest habitats in Central and South America.
2)They can be found in trees, as well as under leaves and logs and rocks on the floor of the forest.
3)Because of their size, from 1/2 to 2 inches long, they are hard to see.
4)Poison frogs warn predators with brilliant colors and patterns. There are many species of poison frogs that can be found in every color under the sun.
5)They prey on invertebrates, especially certain ant species, which build up really strong poisons in the frog.
6)Dart Frogs got their name because hunters would tip their arrows in the frog's poisons. Sadly, because people are cutting down rainforests for farming and ranching, Poison Dart Frogs are at risk.
7)The Blue Poison Dart Frog is the most endangered due to the pet-shop market.
CHARACTERISTICS of HOSTA PLANTS:
1)Hostas (Hosta spp.) originate from Asia and are also known as plantain lilies.
2)This genus of herbaceous perennials consists of 40 species with thousands of hybrids.
3)Low-maintenance hosta plants fill in shady flowerbeds in U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 3 through 8.
4)All varieties of hostas go dormant at the end of autumn and die back to the ground while resting.
5)There are currently 5 size categories for the typical size of a mature hosta clump.
6)Hosta leaves come in many different forms. The following characteristics may be used to differentiate various species and cultivars of hostas.
Leaf Colors - The base color of the leaves will cover 60% or more of the leaf surface.
