Water in world.

How do animals adopt to living in the water :

Fish they have streamlined structure and their color is well adapted to the environment; the skin is covered with slime they breathe through gills and swim beacuse of the fins.. They are sensitive to pressure changes in the water and even its chemical composition

The diversity of living organisms, theri adaptation to water and water - shortage environment can we live without water ?

Live in water
Animals can live in water thanks to the following features: Streamlined or spindle like body shape. Flesh covered raith slime. Breathing through gills (fish, tadpole, bivalve) or through the whole surface of the body (leech). Fins, membrane betwen fingers and oar - shaped limbs which enable to move around.

Animals can live in an inshore area, in the water depths or near the bottom. They either swim or live on plants.

Frog
Flesh covered with slime. The back limbs have a membrane thanks to which frogs are an excellent swimmers. The eyes are bulging and they breath with an oxygen from the atmosphere pulling out nostrils above the water surface.
While under water the nostrilss are closed. Thanks to special coloring, the frog is imperceptible among water plants.

How do plants adapt to living in the water ?

Plants living in the water form different zones. It is connected with their adaptation to different living conditions. Light is very important for plants thanks to which they can produce sustenance. Therefor, they cant be found in deep bottom lakes where the sunrays are scarce.

Flora Plants above the surface Plants with floating leaves.

Adaptation to life

Empty stems; long,shiff leaves. Big, round or oval leaves flooating on the surface; long, paliable stems below the surface; shoots and sprouts above the surface. Rootless; paliable stems; tiny, ragged leaves

Plants below the surface

Plants adaption to living in water shortage environment.

Cacti store water in stems and their leaves once transformed in thorns, which reduced their evaporation

Animals adaptation to living in water shortage environment.

Camels in their humps they store fat(even 45 kg). The fat layer is an insulator which reduces the amount of water that evaportate in the process of sweaating from the heat. Camels use water containes in the plants and are able to open and close their nostrils, which protects their respiratory system from the sand.

Fennec fox
Has long ears, whick enables him to get rid of the heat surfeit and to cod down his body temperature. The fair fur is a perfect camouflage. The hairy finger pads enable him to move easily on the hot sand. Feneec fox is a nocturnal animal which hides from the burning sun in holes.

Thanks to the charactenistic properties water plays a crucial function in life and the development of our living organisms. Without water life on Earth would simply be impossible.
