perform a first-hand investigation to gather information about structures in plants that assist in the conservation of water
Your recording could best be done using a table like the one below.
Plant | Adaptation of leaves | Adaptation of stems | Adaptation of roots | How this adaptation conserves water |
---|---|---|---|---|
Casuarina |
leaves reduced to scales |
cladodes |
reduces transpiration |
|
Eucalyptus |
waxy leaves; leaves hang vertically |
reduces transpiration |
||
Cactus |
stems store water |
