|
The Creosote tree is well adapted for the desert biome and its lack of rainfall.
|
|
|
Due to the type of leaves found on the Creosote tree, this tree most likely thrives in the savanna.
|
|
|
The dual root systems of the Creosote tree would help it to survive in the tundra.
|
|
|
The Creosote tree is most likely found in the rainforest because it has adapted to conserve water.

Detailed explanation-1: -A tree called the Creosote has a taste and smell that animals find unpleasant. It has leaves that close in the day to keep in water and open at night to absorb moisture. Its leaves also grow close to the stem to reduce water evaporation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The types of rainforest include: Tropical mangrove forests. Temperate rainforests. Seasonal rainforests.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is important to note that both the desert and tundra can receive similar amounts of precipitation, usually less than ten inches per year. However, a desert can receive up to twenty inches of precipitation per year, while the tundra usually receives around six to ten inches.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cacti have adapted in a number of ways to enable them to grow in the desert environment. One of the most important adaptations is their use of CAM photosynthesis. This type of photosynthesis allows the plant to open its stomata only at night, when the temperature is cooler and less water is lost through transpiration.
