what special adaptation can be seen in the following organisms .
1)mangrove trees
2)camel
3)fish
4)planktons
Answers
Explanation:
Mangrove trees have become specialized to survive in the extreme conditions of estuaries. Two key adaptations they have are the ability to survive in waterlogged and anoxic (no oxygen) soil, and the ability to tolerate brackish waters.
The camel has many adaptive traits for their life in the desert. They have wide feet for walking in sand. They have long eyelashes and thin, slit nostrils that they can close to protect them from blowing sand. They are adapted to survive a long time without water and food.
Explanation:
◇ mangrove trees : ROOTS WHICH HELPS THE STAY IN WATER . AND IS USED TO BREATH UNDER WATER.
◇ Camel : Camels are well adapted for survival in the desert. Their adaptations include:
large, flat feet - to spread their weight on the sand
thick fur on the top of the body for shade, and thin fur elsewhere to allow easy heat loss
a large surface area to volume ratio - to maximise heat loss
the ability to go for a long time without water - they lose very little water through urination and perspiration
the ability to tolerate body temperatures up to 42°C
slit-like nostrils and two rows of eyelashes - to help keep out sand
◇ Fish : Fish are aquatic, ectothermic vertebrates. Many structures in fish are adaptations for their aquatic lifestyle. For example, fish have a stream-lined body that reduces water resistance while swimming. Fish have gills for “breathing” oxygen in water and fins for propelling and steering their body through water.
◇ planktons: Adaptations
All species of plankton have been forced to develop certain structural adaptations to be able to float in the water column. Adaptations include: flat bodies, lateral spines, oil droplets, floats filled with gases, sheaths made of gel-like substances, and ion replacement. The flat body and spines allow some species of plankton to resist sinking by increasing the surface area of their bodies while minimizing the volume. All other adaptations keep plankton from sinking quickly to the bottom. Zooplankton have also adapted mechanisms to deter fish (their heaviest predator) including: transparent bodies, bright colors, bad tastes, red coloring in deeper water, and cyclomorphosis. Cyclomorphosis occurs when predators release chemicals in the water that signal zooplankton, such as rotifers or cladocerans, to increase their spines and protective shields.
