Obtaining Water and Other Nutrients (CIRCLE ONE)
Recall that all organisms need a.water or b. soda to survive. Obtaining a.water or b. soda is easy for a. grass
or b. algae because water surrounds them. To live on a. mars or b. land, though, plants need a. adaptations or
b. space for obtaining water from the a. sink or b. soil. a. Plants or b. Rocks must also have ways of obtaining
other a. medicine or b. nutrients from the a. sink or b. soil.
Retaining Water (CIRCLE ONE)
Plants must have ways of holding onto the a. water or b. soda they obtain. Otherwise, they could easily dry out
due to a. evaporation or b. rain. When there is more water in plant a. cells or b. leaves than in the air, the
water a. cells or b. leaves the plant and a. enters or b. exits the air. One a. adaptation or b. space that helps a

plant reduce water loss is a waxy, a. waterproof or b. lifeproof layer called the a. Cuticle or b. Chloroplast
that a. kills or b. covers the leaves of most plants.
