Flashcards: Effect of Habitat on Organism Survival

Camels: Camels are desert animals that have pads on the bottom of their feet. The pads are thick and large and help keep the camel stable. They can close their noses to prevent materials from entering. Camels can eat desert plants to gather water. They can go up to 100 miles without needing to drink any water!

The Sahara Desert: The Sahara Desert is made entirely of sand. It rarely rains and is very dry. There are only a few plants, and they have small leaves. The sand is scorching and moves every time it is touched; when the wind blows, the sand shifts in all directions.

How well would a camel survive in the Sahara Desert compared to other organisms, and why?

 

A camel would survive very well in the Sahara Desert when compared to other organisms because it has traits adapted to this habitat.

A camel would not survive well in the Sahara Desert when compared to other organisms because its traits are adapted to different habitats.

There is not enough information to decide how a camel would survive.

A camel would survive less well in the Sahara Desert when compared to other organisms because some of its traits are not adapted to this habitat.
