Answers
Explanation:
Aquatic adaptations allow aquaticanimals to survive in water. Volant adaptations allow animals to lead an aerial life. Fish, whales and dolphins have aquatic adaptations.
Xerophytes are plants that have adapted to grow in areas with low or no precipitation at all. They are also called desert plants. ... Hydrophytes are plants that have adapted to grow in areas of high precipitation or inside waterbodies. They have a thick layer of water resstant cuticle on them.
the difference between habitat and microhabitat
is that habitat is (biology) a specific place or natural conditions in which a plant or animal lives while microhabitatis a specific habitat, typically extremely small, such as a cave corner or a cardboard box.
Xerophytes are the plants adapted to grow in areas with with little or no water and hydrophytes are those plants which are adapted to grow in moist regions or we can say places where water is available. Plant adapted to live in dry conditions
