AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Animals adapt to the shortage of water and food through various ways, including migrating (moving to another area) and hibernating until the season is over. Grazing animals, like gazelles and zebras, feed on grasses and often use camouflage to protect themselves from predators when they are roaming in the open.

Detailed explanation-2: -Camouflage. Lacking trees, rocks or other structures to hide behind, grassland animals have often evolved highly effective camouflage, which allows them to hide while in plain sight. Most gazelles, cattle and antelopes are clad in colors that match the grass and surroundings of their wide-open habitats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grassland plant adaptations include long roots, narrow leaves, and vibrantly hued flowering plants. Grassland plants, specifically grasses, can grow at the base of the plant, not the edges. This helps them survive the fires typically occurring in the hot and dry grasslands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Camouflage, highly developed senses, warning signals, and different defensive weapons and behaviours are all used by prey animals for survival. Camouflage is an adaptation in which a species evolves to resemble its background.
