What adaptation would help ocean plants?
Shallow roots at the surface of the ocean floor to fight the currents
Roots grow down to anchor the plant to the seabed in order to fight the currents
Thorns to protect against predators
Drip-tips to help with water run-off
This adaptation allows water to run off the plant to save it from getting too much water
Drip-tips
Spikes
Root length
Waxy stem
Cactus plants in the desert have this to keep animals away from eating them
Shallow Roots
Spines/Thorns
drip-tips

In the tundra, it is very cold and dry. The blanket of snow covering the tundra in winter helps keep plants warm and protects them from high winds.
True
False
What type of adaptation would most likely help a polar bear?
Layer of fat to keep warm

Bright colored fur to deter predators
Some animals look similar to other animals. This type of adaptation is called mimicry and helps with
It allows both organisms to be able to mate
There is no reason for this adaptation
It can trick a predator into thinking it is the more dangerous or less tasty prey
