Organisms that live in desert and desert-scrub biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. the sahara desert takes up ten percent of the continent of africa, and is the largest desert in the world. the species that live in the sahara are highly adapted to survive in the extreme conditions they live in. what morphological and physiological adaptations might be seen in the organisms that live in the sahara desert? a. water absorbing skin, large eyes for hunting at night, webbed feet b. light colored fur or feathers for camouflage, dense layer of fat and fur for warmth, hibernation during cold months c. small bodies and long limbs in warm-blooded organisms, light colored fur or feathers to reflect sunlight, lack of sweat glands in many organisms, hibernation during hot months d. dark colored fur or feathers for heat absorption, large bodies and short limbs, consumption of primarily scrub and short grasses

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
