Answer:

Affecting their body structure:

--gills (other special breathing organs)

used by some oceanic animals like fish and crabs

--blowholes

an opening on the top of the head that's used for breathing

--fins, flat, wing-like structures, streamlined bodies

help fishes move through the water

Purpose: adapt to and get used to the strong water currents

(currents bring vital nutrients from other places in the ocean to where they're needed most)

e.g. turtles

How do organisms remove excess salt and prevent water loss in marine habitat? (Explain by using mangrove as the example)

The leaves are modified into small-sized spines so that the surface area reduces and less water is lost. Leaves are generally small to ensure less transpiration through the surface. They have a thick cuticle layer on the leaves that reduces water loss by transpiration.

Wind strongly impacts plant growth, leaf traits, biomass allocation, and stem mechanical properties. However, whether there are common whole-plant wind responses among different plant species is still unclear.

On the other side when wind is vacant, plants may instead grow taller and broader leaves like in tropical rainforests, and their seeds will instead be fruits to attract birds or have their own way of transportation eg spikes or exploding.

Strong winds can reduce plant growth. Experiments have shown that tree height growth when the wind speed is 10m/s is 1/2 less than when the wind speed is 5m/s, and 2/3 less than in the quiet wind zone. The reason for plant dwarfing is that wind can reduce atmospheric humidity and destroy the water balance inside the tree, preventing cells from expanding to normal mature size, resulting in miniaturization, dwarfing and xerosis of all organs and tissues (leaves are small and leathery, hairy, stomata are sunken, etc. ).

In places where strong winds prevail, the station often grows into a model, with the trunk of the tree bent to the leeward direction and the crown of the tree tilted to the leeward side, which is called a "flag-shaped tree".

The morphological structures of trees adapted to strong winds are often similar to those adapted to drought. Strong winds cause plant transpiration to accelerate, resulting in water shortages and the formation of biological structures such as thick bark, small leaves, and gravity that reduce transpiration and drought. Trees growing in strong wind areas have extremely developed root systems, especially in leeward areas.

2. Wind affects plant value increase

Wind affects the spread of plant pollen, seeds and effects. Wind pollination. Wind-pollinated flowers are one of the more primitive types of adaptation.

First, the solubility of oxygen decreases as temperature increases ¹. This means that warmer surface water requires less dissolved oxygen to reach 100% air saturation than does deeper, cooler water. For example, at sea level (1 atm or 760 mmHg) and 4°C (39°F), 100% air-saturated water would hold 10.92 mg/L of dissolved oxygen. ³ But if the temperature were raised to room temperature, 21°C (70°F), there would only be 8.68 mg/L DO at 100% air saturation ³.

each plant has its own recommended pH value range. In general, the best pH value range for soil is approximately 6 or 7.

some ornamental plants and fruit plants like blueberries require an acidic soil.

the soil pH can also influence plant growth by uts effects on activity of beneficial microorganisms.

3The destructive power of wind

The degree of mechanical damage caused by wind to plants (referring to breaking branches, stems, pulling roots, etc.) is mainly determined by wind speed, wind bursts, plant species characteristics, environmental characteristics, etc.
