Ecological groups are defined as groups of plants that grow under the same environmental factors. There are four main ecological groups: hydrophytes, xerophytes, halophytes, and epiphytes. Hydrophytes grow in or near water and have adaptations like reduced roots and stems, thin leaves, and air cavities for gas exchange. Xerophytes grow in dry areas and have adaptations like deep roots, small or absent leaves, waxy coatings, and succulence to retain water. Halophytes grow in saline soils and have adaptations like succulence, salt glands, and negative geotropism. Epiphytes grow on other plants and have clinging roots and thick leaves and cutAdaptations in different biomes notes

Plants can adapt to survive in extreme environments like deserts or bodies of water through specialized structures and processes. Xerophytes, or desert plants, have adaptations like deep, widespread root systems to access water, short lifecycles, thick waxy cuticles to prevent water loss, and opening stomata at night to take in carbon dioxide without losing much water. Hydrophytes, or water plants, have adaptations like air spaces to allow floating, and breathing roots that grow above the water to access carbon dioxide.Plants Topic 8

Plants have developed various leaf adaptations to survive in different environments. Desert plants like cacti have thick or reduced leaves and shallow, wide root systems to minimize water loss and store water. Rainforest plants have large leaves to maximize sunlight absorption and shallow roots to absorb nutrients, with some using buttress roots. Water lilies have large, circular leaves with waxy coatings and air cavities to float and photosynthesize while roots remain submerged in nutrient-rich mud. Stomata are positioned differently on these plants' leaves according to the environment: on both surfaces for rainforest plants, bottom-only for desert plants, and top-only for water lilies.Zoo U epiphyte powerpoint

Epiphytes are plants that grow on other plants such as trees in tropical rainforests without being parasitic. They include ferns, bromeliads, orchids, and air plants. Epiphytes are important because they act as a buffer between rain and sunlight, preventing flooding on the forest floor. Common epiphytic plants are orchids, bromeliads, ferns, air plants, and lichens if found in rainforests.Sc files 2 chapter1 copy

Plants can be found in many different habitats around the world, including on land, in water, forests, deserts and farms. There are thousands of kinds of plants that come in different sizes, from tall trees with woody stems, to smaller shrubs with many hard woody stems, to the smallest herbs without woody stems like grasses. Plants also show amazing diversity in whether they are green or not, where they grow on land, sea or freshwater, and whether they bear flowers or not.Adaptations of plants- Xerophytes and hydrophytes

Xerophytes and hydrophytes have evolved different adaptations to survive in their environments. Xerophytes, like marram grass and cacti, have adaptations such as thick waxy cuticles, sunken stomata, reduced leaves, and the ability to store water to conserve water in dry conditions. Hydrophytes, like water lilies, have adaptations like thin cuticles, many open stomata, wide flat leaves, and air spaces to thrive in aquatic environments where water is abundant. Both plant types have specialized anatomical features to maximize resource uptake and minimize water loss depending on their habitat.Transport in plants 6 xerophytes

They ruled in Gujarat from the latter half of the tenth century to the beginning of the thirteenth century. Their capital was in Anahilwad. It is not certain whether it had any relation with the Chalukya dynasty of the south or not. It is worth mentioning that the name of the dynasty of the south was 'Chaluky' while the dynasty of Gujarat has been called 'Chaulukya'. The rulers of this dynasty were the supporters and patrons of Jainism.Chalukyas of Gujrat, Solanki Dynasty NEP.pptx
