Full Description

This examination evaluates plant adaptations to various stressful environments, including drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. Candidates will discuss the physiological changes that enable plants to survive and thrive under such conditions.

Understanding plant adaptations is essential for improving crop species resilience to climate change and enhancing food security. Knowledge of these adaptations informs breeding programs and agricultural practices geared towards sustainability.

The exam will assess candidates' abilities to articulate the mechanisms plants use to adapt physiologically to environmental stressors.

Candidates may be asked to provide examples of specific plant species demonstrating unique adaptations, linking these directly to their ecological roles.

Sample Questions

  • What adaptations do plants undergo to survive in drought conditions?
  • Can you explain how halophytes tolerate saline environments?
