cactus, roses
formations of spines can stop what

absorb water
what do large leaves do
maximise photosynthesis
why do flowers attract insects
to pollinate them
(behavioral adaptations)what do behavioural adaptations give plants
advantages
1 advantage behavioural plants give is (plant shoots)
grow quickly towards the light to max photosynthesis
growth towards light ensure ….
plants can grow respond to changes
plant roots which grow directly….
towards water to max photosynthesis
(physiological advantages)
process which allow them to complete
e.g of prices which allow them to complete
formations of poisons for defence
abiotic factor living or non living
non-living
abiotic factors
light intensity, temperature and moisture levels
biotic living or non-living
living
biotic factors
