1.Write Four Characteristics of Aquatic Plants. Give Two Examples.
- Aquatic plants either remain submerged or float on the water body.
- The leaves are coated with a wax-like substance, allowing them to stay dry.
- The stems of these plants are soft and flexible.
- Two examples of aquatic plants are lotus and water lily.
2.How Do Cactus Plants Survive in Hot Deserts?
- The Cactus plant is adapted to grow and survive in deserts.
- Leaves in cacti are modified to spines, allowing the plant to reduce water loss.
- The stomata are sunken and hence not exposed to the sun’s heat.
- They have a tap root system penetrating deep into the soil to absorb water.
3.What Is Coniferous Forest?
- The forests that mainly comprise cone-shaped trees are called conifers.
- Coniferous forests are mainly found in the mountains.
- Oak and maples are some examples of conical-shaped crowns.
- Their cone shape is an adaptation to survive during the snowfall in winter.
Their sloppy shape does not allow the snow to stay on the crowns of trees.
