advantage or not
do not need adaptation in absorbing, transporting, and conserving water
advantage on adaptation to water
advantage or not
they can also serve energy and matter by not extensively growing root systems, vascular tissues, and thick cuticles on leaves
advantage on adaptation to water
advantage or not
support is less a problem because of the buoyancy of water
advantage on adaptation to water
advantage or not
pollination in air and animals are feasible under water
disadvantage on adaptation to water
plants that are adapted to very dry environment
xerophytes
adaptation help increase their water intake, decrease loss of water and store water when it is available
xerophytes
plants that grow on other plants
epiphytes
they use the moisture in air to produce food by photosynthesis
epiphytes
have a high chance of survival
epiphytes
the study of organism in their environment
ecology
occurs when toxic, pesticides, septic tanks, and fertilizer wash over or leash into the surface of water
