Question

To adapt in low water conditions animals and plants undertake many measures to adapt to the changed environment. Choose the statement that best describes their method.

• A. Animals release antifreeze proteins and plants close up all their stomatal pores
• B. Animals urinate more & plants store food in their leaves
• C. Animals urinate and sweat less, plants store water in their stems and some fold up their leaves so that the stomatal pores face inwards reducing transpiration
• D. All animals go into summer hibernation and plants change into spores

Answer 1

The correct option is C Animals urinate and sweat less, plants store water in their stems and some fold up their leaves so that the stomatal pores face inwards reducing transpiration

Living organisms both animals and plants, depend and interact with the key abiotic factor, water, for their survival. When water remains continuously scarce, animals like camels urinate and sweat less and plants store water in their stems and fold up the
leaves so that the stomatal pores face inwards, reducing transpiration. Some plants have leaves modified into spines to reduce transpiration.
