| Video Discription | How are plants and animals adapted to tropical rainforests? This is the twenty-fifth video for the AQA GCSE 9-1 Geography course, and the fifth video of The Living World topic. The Living World Playlist: ยป https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWsYRBnBKKrsVqZX6z1SDei5jXyJxgbIL Follow me on all platforms: ยป https://linktr.ee/keducate Do you have a video suggestion? ยป https://forms.gle/gxc3xHQ1b1wUeANT9 Video Script: Tropical rainforests are the most diverse ecosystem in the world, with over half of the worldโs plant and animal species being found here, all of which are adapted to the unique environment. They are all adapted in various ways to survive in the unique conditions of the rainforest. First weโll start with plants. Lianas are woody vines that are rooted in the ground, but climb up trees so they can reach the canopy to get sunlight. This is where their leaves and flowers grow. Epiphytes are similarly dependent on trees - they grow on the branches of trees in the canopy and get nutrients from the air and water instead of the soil. The largest trees have buttress roots which are huge and wide roots that stabilise and support the tree, preventing them from falling in high winds. The large surface area of these roots is also beneficial for nutrient intake. Tree trunks are thin and tall so that they can reach the sunlight, and have smooth bark to allow water to flow down to the roots. Leaves are also specially adapted - they have pointy tips, known as drip tips, which allows water to run off the leaves more quickly without breaking them, and they have flexible bases so that they can turn towards sunlight to maximise photosynthesis. And now for animals. Toucans have long, curved beaks that allow them to reach food from weaker branches or from places deeper inside the trees. Sloths use camouflage and slow movement to stay hidden from predators. Poison dart frogs have toxic glands in their skin which produce poison. They are brightly coloured to warn potential predators against eating them. Some other frogs have copied the appearance of poison dart frogs despite not being poisonous, to similarly protect them from predators. -- GCSE Geography 04/05/2023 Keducate 6s2r5EdgK9I |
