7. Camels live in desert regions where the temperature is
high and water is scarce.
Explain how the camel's body features help it survive in
the desert.

8. Study the pictures and answer
the following:

Bird A has webbed feet, while
Bird B has sharp claws and
curved beak.
Which bird is likely to be a
water bird, and which one a
bird of prey? Justify your
answer.
9. Penguins live in extremely cold climates and have adaptations like streamlined
bodies, thick feathers, and fat layers.
Do you think a penguin can survive in a desert? Why or why not?

10. Which of the following is NOT an adaptation to aquatic life?
a) Gills in fish
b) Webbed feet in ducks
c) Thick fur in camels
d) Floating leaves in water plants
11. If a polar bear were relocated to a desert environment, what challenges might it face
due to its adaptations?
12. Compare the adaptations of aquatic plants and desert plants, highlighting how each
suits their respective environments.
13. Aquatic habitats are environments where organisms live in water. These habitats include
freshwater bodies like ponds and lakes, as well as marine environments like seas and
oceans. Aquatic plants, such as water lilies and hydrilla, have adaptations like broad,
floating leaves and flexible stems to survive in water. Aquatic animals, like fish and
dolphins, possess features such as gills or lungs, fins, and streamlined bodies to help
them move and breathe in their watery surroundings.
a) List two adaptations of aquatic plants mentioned in the passage.
b) Explain how the adaptations of aquatic animals assist them in their habitat.
c) If a plant with rigid stems were placed in a pond, what challenges might it face?
14. Design an imaginary animal and a plant suited for life in a rainforest. Describe at least
two adaptations it would have.
15. a) Assess why streamlined bodies are advantageous for aquatic animals.
b) Design an aquatic plant suited for fast-flowing rivers. Describe two adaptations it
would have.
