question 14
in the arctic of the tundra biome, which adaptation best illustrates how organisms cope with freezing temperatures and limited sunlight?

• animals in the tundra develop thick fur and a layer of fat to insulate against cold and conserve body heat.
• tundra plants grow very tall to reach up to maximum sunlight exposure during summer.
• organisms in the tundra exhibit bright colors to absorb more sunlight and increase their metabolic rates.
• tundra animals have adapted to produce layers of fur and feathers in order to conserve heat during the harsh winter months.

Explanation:

The question is about how organisms cope with fluctuating temperatures and limited sunlight in the tundra. The option about tundra plants growing low to reach sunlight during summer best illustrates this as it directly relates to dealing with the environmental factors of light availability in the tundra.

Answer:

Tundra plants grow very low to reach sunlight during summer.
