EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration provides evaporative cooling. As water leaves the plant tissues into the atmosphere, it takes energy with it in the form of heat. Much like when we sweat, this allows the plant to cool and maintain homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of adaptation-structural adaptation, behavioral adaptation, and physiological adaptation. A structural adaptation is a physical feature that an organism has evolved in order to survive. In plants, this could include the evolution of waxy leaves or different root structures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spines or hairs shade plants and break up drying winds across the leaf/stem surface. The roots of desert plants are also adapted to help them survive. Some plants have shallow, widespread roots to absorb a maximum of rainfall moisture. Others have deep taproots to get water that is deep underground.
