Suggested answer
Despite the dry conditions in the deserts, some plants and animals still manage to survive there. One of them
is the specialist annual plants. Their short life cycles allow them to germinate, grow and produce seeds
during short rainy seasons. These seeds are drought-resistant and are able to wait for the next rainy season
before starting their life cycles again. The Cacti adapts to the dry weather by having swollen stems for water
storage and pine-like leaves to minimize water loss through respiration. Skinks generate water from stored
fats in their tails and antelopes which requires very little water, survives in deserts by extracting water from
food they eat. Finally, sandgrouse with no adaptive features turn to waterholes constantly for help. ( 119
