#2: Which of these adaptations would be seen in a tropical rainforest plant 1 point
but would not be suited for survival in a desert or savanna plant?*
A waxy coating on leaves to help the plant conserve water during exposure to the hot,
dry climate
Large drip leaves to absorb large amounts of sunlight and allow excess water to run
off.
Protective spines to keep herbivores from eating them to obtain water,
Shallow, widespread roots to absorb any precipitation close to the ground surface.

Large drip leaves to absorb large amounts of sunlight and allow excess water to run

Explanation:

In a desert or savannah, the conditions are dry and hot, with lots of sunlight but very little water. In a tropical rainforest, it is very humid and wet, and dense with vegetation.

A plant in a rainforest might need to work harder to absorb light energy from the sun, due to the dense, tall trees blocking the sunlight. Therefore, they would likely develop leaves with a large surface area.

These plants would also have a plentiful water supply, so leaves with a shape that does not retain water would be helpful. There properties are present in the option describing large drip leaves.

A waxy coating to converse water, a protective spine to keep away herbivores who need the plant for water, and long roots to get access to water, are all adaptations of a desert plant.

the growth of the plants is affected by the heat of the light. what is the student doing?
