FUNGSI AIR
1. Penyusun protoplasma (80-90%).
2. Pelarut dan alat transpor.
3. Turgiditas sel.
Plants can not withstand low tissue Plants can withstand low tissue water

This tree has a top-heavy branch system, but also what has been
described as a "deep and extensive" root system, with roots
reaching up to 11 m (36 ft).
New plants can grow from seed, but in some populations, new
stems grow from underground rhizomes that spread out around
the parent tree.
C. Menyesuaikan (tolerance)
• Mengatur turgor sel, penyesuaiantekanan osmotik (osmotic
adjusment) melalui pembentukan senyawa-senyawa pelindung
a.l. gula, prolin, poliol (polyhydric alcohol misal sorbitol,
manitol), dan peptida.
• Mengatur elastisitas membran sel.
Mekanisme adaptasi:
1. Adaptasi pada lingkungan O2 rendah
2. Adaptasi anatomi dan morfologi
3. Adaptasi metabolik
• have tissues with large air filled spaces
• oxygen diffuses through these tissues
• have floating seeds that delay germination
• grow quickly after germination
• growing shoot extends above water
