B. A morning-glory plant is found curled around the post of a mailbox.
C. A birch tree in the forest reached its full mature height.

(5) Which structural adaptation would help a plant survive better in a shady
environment?
A. small leaves
B. large leaves
C. brightly colored flowers
D. thorns

Please answer I need help for these five questions :)

Answer 1

Your answer is B. A morning glory plant is found curled around the post of a mailbox

Answer 2

1. D (the only example where the species’ traits actually change- the plant is initially at ground-level but develops the ability to climb to better survive in its environment)

2. B (different environments support different traits, making species more diverse)

3. A (a species that can adapt can better survive in a changing environment over time)

4. C (allows the giraffe to reach its leaf food on tall trees. A is a defense mechanism and B and D are for reproductive purposes)

5. B (photosynthesis occurs in the leaves. Larger leaves allow them to capture more sunlight for photosynthesis in a shady area)
