Plants, like all organisms, adapt to the conditions of their environment. Some special challenges a plant may face are drought, flooding, and a salty environment. Your task is to identify and describe ways that plants adapt to these challenging conditions in their environment. Select one plant adaptation to drought, one adaptation to flooding, and one for salt tolerance. Explain how each adaptation enhances plant survival. Identify a scholarly source of information for each. Use quotes appropriately; be sure your responses are written in your own words

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
