Plant Adaptations and Survival Strategies

The video explores various plant adaptations that enable survival in different environments. It covers the unique characteristics of the Lotus plant, Nepenthes, Venus Flytrap, Rafflesia Arnoldii, cacti, and orchids. Each plant's adaptation, such as water storage, insect digestion, and parasitic growth, is discussed, highlighting the diversity and creativity of nature.

What is the primary reason plants and animals adapt to their environments?

• To attract more predators

• To become more colorful

• To grow larger in size

• To survive and reproduce

What unique feature helps Lotus plants appear to float on water?

• Their flower stems

• Their air cavities

• Their thick leaves

• Their long roots

How do Nepenthes plants supplement their nitrogen intake?

• By growing in nitrogen-rich soil

• By trapping and digesting insects

• By photosynthesis

• By absorbing it from the air

What triggers the Venus Flytrap to close its leaves?

• The sound of buzzing

• The touch of an insect

• The presence of water

• The change in temperature

Why does the Rafflesia arnoldii emit a foul odor?

• To repel herbivores

• To protect itself from the sun

• To signal other plants

• To attract flies for pollination

What is the primary habitat of the Rafflesia arnoldii?

• Deserts

• Tropical rainforests

• Mountain tops

• Grasslands

How do cacti minimize water loss?

• By having large leaves

• By growing in shaded areas

• By storing water in their roots

• By having thick outer layers and spines

What is the function of the spines on a cactus?

• To help in photosynthesis

• To store water

• To attract insects

• To reduce water loss and protect from animals

How do orchids obtain water?

• By storing it in their flowers

• By absorbing it from the air with aerial roots

• By growing in water-rich soil

• Through their thick leaves

What allows orchids to perform photosynthesis even in their roots?

• Presence of chlorophyll

• Their thick stems

• Their large size

• Their colorful flowers
