Plant Adaptations Types of Adaptations Structural Adaptations ◦The way something is built or made. Behavioral Adaptations ◦The way something acts naturally or by instinct. Plant Adaptations for different Biomes Group Discussion Each group will get a biome ◦ Desert (table 1) ◦ Grassland (table 2) ◦ Tundra (table 3) ◦ Rainforest (table 4) ◦ Temperate forest (table 5) ◦ Water/ Marine (table 6) In your table group, discuses what kind of adaptations do the plants have in order to live in your biome Desert Adaptations ◦Small leaves or spines conserve water ◦Thick waxy skin holds in water ◦Roots near the soils surface soak up rain water quickly before it evaporates. ◦Long roots to get ground water Grassland Adaptations oDeep roots help plants survive prairie fires oNarrow leaves lose less water than broad leaves. oFlexible stems bend in the wind. Tundra Adaptations oSmall plants grow close to the ground for warmth. oDark colored flowers absorb heat from the sun. oFuzzy stems provide protection from wind. Rainforest Adaptations oSmooth, slippery bark keeps vines from killing trees. oSlide shaped leaves lets rain run off so fungus doesn’t grow on plants. Temperate Forest Adaptations oThick bark protects trees oDropping leaves in winter conserves water and nutrients during cold winters. Water Adaptations oFlexible stems move with water currents oFloating seeds spread offspring Assignment oMake up your own plant to live in a biome of your choice from the notes. oMake a poster of what your plant and biome looks like oWrite an explanation of your plant and its biome.
