Question

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

What can I help you with?

Answer 2

What are some ways that plants have adapted to survive in a variety of enviroments?

Answer 3

And how does energy and matter flow and cycle between plants and animals?

Answer 4

For the plant one:

DESERTS
Some plants, called succulents, store water in their stems or leaves;
Some plants have no leaves or small seasonal leaves that only grow after it rains. The lack of leaves helps reduce water loss during photosynthesis. Leafless plants conduct photosynthesis in their green stems.
Long root systems spread out wide or go deep into the ground to absorb water,

TROPICAL
flowers on the forest floor are designed to lure animal pollinators since there is relatively no wind on the forest floor to aid in pollination
smooth bark and smooth or waxy flowers speed the run off of water
plants have shallow roots to help capture nutrients from the top level of soil.

GRASSLAND
During a fire, while above-ground portions of grasses may perish, the root portions survive to sprout again
Some prairie trees have thick bark to resist fire
Prairie shrubs readily resprout after fire

TUNDRA
Plants are dark in color—some are even red—this helps them absorb solar heat.
Some plants are covered with hair which helps keep them warm.
Some plants grow in clumps to protect one another from the wind and cold.

Answer 5

The energy flow through living organisms starts with sunlight and photosynthesis, then travels through the food chain in bite sized chunks. Primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers are all part of the food chain.

The flow of energy through life is not an endless cycle. The energy doesn't go round and round getting used over and over again and never wearing out. Its passage through the food chain can better be described as in and out.Most of the solar energy that falls on the earth is not used by plants. It bounces back to space or heats the air, oceans, and ground, and makes weather, among other things.
Sooo....
The plants only get a little bit of the solar energy that hits the earth.
And....
The herbivores only get a little bit of the energy that hits the plants.
And....
The carnivores and decomposers only get a little bit of the energy that was eaten by the herbivores. Most of the solar energy that falls on the earth is not used by plants. It bounces back to space or heats the air, oceans, and ground, and makes weather, among other things.
