coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic is known for its cold‚ desert-like conditions. All of the plants are adapted to sweeping winds and disturbances of the soil. Plants are short and group together to resist the cold temperatures and are protected by the snow during the winter. They can carry out photosynthesis at low temperatures and low light intensities. The growing seasons are short and most plants reproduce by budding and division rather than sexually by flowering. The organisms in the arctic

essentials: 1) food 2) shelter 3) breeding site. In turn the organism interacts with the environment in several ways. For example a plant uses the environment for the three purposes named above but in turn it also removes carbon dioxide and water from the air‚ it gets eaten by an animal or a parasite and it depends on the soil for its support. Therefore the plant is interacting with the abiotic components and other biotic components. They are both interdependent on each other. At different times

pollination Resurrection Plant : What adaptations does this plant show for living in an environment that is not always wet? The ability of these plants to survive without water for a long period of time is its adaptation character. How does this adaptation help it survive? These plants are desert plants where water is not abundant so they adapt to their environment. It cannot store water so it folds up its stems into a tight ball as it goes into a state of dormancy. The folded plant has a limited surface

The venus fly trap is a carnivorous plant. That means that it gets some of its nutrients from eating living things like insects and spiders. If you’ve never seen a venus flytrap before‚ they look like a flower with mouths at the ends of some of the leaves. The “mouths” look like they have teeth all the way around them and they are opened wide until they are ready to eat. The venus fly trap isn’t going to try to eat until its prey lands on it or moves across it two times. It waits because it doesn’t

Professor Tuscano NR 2 TTH AM 27 January 2015 Tundra Biomes In the world there are about twelve biomes. The major biomes include deserts‚ forests‚ grasslands‚ tundra and several aquatic environments. A biome is large geographical area with special plants and animal groups and they are adapted to that type of environment. The Tundra biome is the coldest biome of the many biomes. It is separated into two types which are the arctic and alpine. The following information was gathered from a few websites

The second chapter of in Jane Goodall Seeds of Hope mixes Jane Goodall personal perspective of plants with the scientific findings. It starts off with Jane describing her love of plants starting from a young age and her fascination of them. The different types of plant structure and function are just as diverse as the different environments the plants survive. One of the most important aspects of a tree surviving is the root system which is what this chapter explains next along with the other important

The Venus Fly Trap The Venus Fly Trap‚ Dionaea muscipula‚ is a carnivorous plant native to the bogs and swamplands of North and South Carolina(Halpern 2). It preys on insects with its uniquely shaped terminal portion of its leaves. Each leaf has two primary regions: the leaf-base and the trapping mechanism(Souza 3). The flat typical leaf-like region is called the leaf-base and it is capable of carrying out photosynthesis and grows out of the ground. The trapping mechanism‚ called the leaf-blade

FOOD CHAINS and FOOD WEBS There are two types of feeding relationships: autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms make their own food by the process of photosynthesis e.g. plants. Heterotrophic organisms cannot make their own food (i.e. cannot carry out photosynthesis)‚ therefore must eat other organisms to get their nutrients e.g. animals. A food chain is the feeding relationship among organisms or the series of living organisms that eat each other. A food chain shows the transfer

summers lead to a short growing period for plants. The Arctic tundra may receive little precipitation as some deserts. Yearly precipitation is 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 inches). In the tundra there is no distinct rainy season‚ but summers tend to be more moist‚ with little ponds and marshes forming from melted snow and ice.
