Exposing a potted plant to a strong smell would NOT change its growth pattern.
A plant that has green leaves is NOT an example of adaptation.
A plant’s response to its environment is known as a tropism.
Study the chart below:

An accommodation is an individual organism’s response to change.
If a species is endangered, the it may become extinct.
Study the diagram below:
Events that Change an
Ecosystem
pollution
forest fire
volcano
Which is least likely to occur when an ecosystem changes? All of the
organisms will adapt to the change.
Small plants might benefit from deforestation by: Tall trees compete with small plants for light and nutrients; therefore, small plants would probably thrive because they would have less competition.
