$\small\mathbf\orange{{ Adaptation \: of \: Aquatic \: plants :}}$

The most common adaptation is the presence of lightweight internal packing cells, aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common. Aquatic plants can only grow in water or in soil that is frequently saturated with water.

$\small\mathbf\green{{Adaptation \: of \: Desert \: Animals : }}$

The absence of sweat glands, and the concentration of urine are other physical adaptations made by desert animals. Because fat intensifies heat, a unique physical adaptation of some desert animals is the storage of fat in humps or tails, rather than throughout the entire body.

1. Many aquatic plants have leaves like flat on water to collect maximum sunlight.
2. The stems of many aquatic plants have large air filled areas to increase buoyancy.

Desert Animals:

1. They have light coloured coats, humps to store fat, and adaptations that help to conserve water.
2. Long eye lashes, hairy ears and closing nostrils help to keep out sand. Which eye brows for keeping shade from sun. Wide feet so they don't sink in sand .
