Adaptations of
plants
Arctic Poppies

The whole plant is covered in black hairs and are warning sign that tells predators not to come near it.
The plant had a low toxicity and that is probably an adaptation that they got over time so animals wouldn’t eat it.
The white colour of the white arctic poppies is an adaptation because it camouflages with the arctic environment that it lives in.
An adaptation for this plant is it moving to where the sun is so it could get heat from the sun.
The poppy adapted to growing on rocks and know it adapted so much that the rock allows the roots of the poppy to be moist

Cactus
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

Seaweed
Seaweed must grow near the ocean's surface -- within the reach of sunlight
Fronds of seaweeds are very tough.This toughness allows the seaweed to avoid being torn by strong ocean waves.
Fronds also helps the seaweed keep water inside and not be dried out completely by the sun.
Seaweed have holdfasts instead of roots. Holdfasts grab on to a rock, and keep the seaweed from washing away during storms.
Seaweed have gas bladders that keep the fronds afloat.
Bamboo

It also saves energy by flowering only once in its lifespan, producing seed and dying.
A few bamboo have adapted to the harsh conditions of the and can survive long, sunless days and freezing winters
Plants adapted to cooler conditions by spreading underground. They create massive forests of clonal colonies from one parent.
Baobab Tree

The baobab tree produce leaves during the wet season. The small size of the leaves helps limit water loss.
The acacia tree can survive drought conditions because it has developed long tap roots that can reach deep, ground water sources.
It developed long, sharp thorns and a relationship with stinging ants. The ants live in acacia thorns and they feed on the nectar produced by the tree. When an animal takes a bite of leaves, it also gets a mouthful of angry, stinging ants. The ants defend their homes from other insects as well, thus protecting the acacia tree
All of these bamboo plants are affected by phototropism, which means that they respond and grow towards light.
