Answer:

For plants:

Thick, waxy skin to reduce loss of water and to reflect heat

Large, fleshy stems to store water

Thorns and thin, spiky or glossy leaves to reduce water loss

Spikes protect cacti from animals wishing to use stored water

Deep roots to tap groundwater

Long shallow roots which spread over a wide area

Plants lie dormant for years until rain falls

For animals:

Long eye lashes, hairy ears and closing nostrils help to keep out sand

Thick eyebrows which stand out and shade eyes from the sun

Wide feet so they don't sink in the sand

They can go without water for over a week because they can drink gallons in one go

They can go months without food - they store fat in their humps

Body temperature can change to avoid losing water through sweating

They are well camouflaged

Thick fur helps to keep them warm at night
