Staying Alive Some plants have special features that help
them get all they need to survive. Adaptation- a special trait that helps an
organism survive Plants have adaptations for:
getting foodprotectionreproduction conserving, or saving, energy

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Are trees dying when they lose their
leaves? No, they’re just resting, or going into a dormant phase.
Dormant- when trees drop their leaves to save water and energy during the winter seasons.
Dormancy is an adaptation for conserving energy.

Deciduous Trees: Just Can’t Decide
Deciduous- a type of tree that loses their leaves to conserve energy during the winter season
The trees stop making chlorophyll and the leaves turn back to their original colors.

Go To the Light!!!
Phototropism- the growth in which plants respond to light.
Plants will actually grow towards a light source. This is why plants grow up towards the sky.
This adaptation helps the plant get the light it needs to survive!
