    A habitat is a natural environment where plants or animals live and survive. It includes everything an organism needs: food, water, shelter, and climate. Habitats vary, like forests, deserts, oceans, and more, providing specific conditions for different forms of life to thrive. It’s the home where organisms find everything necessary for their survival and growth.

  2. Cacti survive in deserts due to unique adaptations. They store water in their thick stems, enabling survival during dry spells. Modified leaves or spines reduce water loss. Shallow but broad root systems quickly absorb surface water. Cacti use CAM photosynthesis, reducing water loss during the day.Read more

    Cacti survive in deserts due to unique adaptations. They store water in their thick stems, enabling survival during dry spells. Modified leaves or spines reduce water loss. Shallow but broad root systems quickly absorb surface water. Cacti use CAM photosynthesis, reducing water loss during the day. Their waxy skin further prevents evaporation, enabling survival in arid desert conditions.

  4. Viruses, non-living entities, display some characteristics of life. They can reproduce by hijacking host cells' machinery. When encountering specific cells, they respond by initiating infection. However, viruses lack essential life attributes like cellular structure and independent metabolism. DespiRead more

    Viruses, non-living entities, display some characteristics of life. They can reproduce by hijacking host cells’ machinery. When encountering specific cells, they respond by initiating infection. However, viruses lack essential life attributes like cellular structure and independent metabolism. Despite their ability to replicate and respond, they are classified as non-living entities in biology.
