Answers
Answer:
1) A, B, and C
2) Plants growing in drier conditions tend to have less No of stomata on their leaves because they absorb water from their roots and to survive in dry areas they need to decrease transpiration to limit their water loss.
Answe:
Ability of plants to live in hot, dry or cold areas is called adaptation. Plants develop adaptations
that help them to live and grow in different areaseven with extreme conditions. Cactus having
needle like leaves with long roots, fleshy stem with green color and require very low amount of
water to survive. WhereasPinus tree also having needle like leaves and covered with thick layer
of cuticle. Both these plants having some similarities although both are present in different
habitat.
Q3.1 Adaptation in desert plants are shown by the presence of
A) Broad surface leaves
B) Spiny leaves
C)Non green leaves
D)None of the above
Q3.2 Plants growing in drier condition tend to have less no. of stomata on their leaves. Why?
Q3.3 Plants adapt themselves to the environment in which they live. Identify the geographical
habitat of plant by observing the following characters.
I) It has lot of branches and small compound / modified leaves.
ii)It can withstand summer heat
iii)It sheds its leaves in the autumn
Identify the type of plant.
Q3.4 If desert plants have spiny leaves then what kind of leaves are present in aquatic plants
with leaves floating on the surface of water.
Q3.5 Which types of plants are found on hilly areas?
