    The rat-tailed maggot can survive in polluted water by obtaining oxygen through a long breathing tube that extends above the surface. Hydrangea plants produce blue flowers in acidic soil below pH 5.5, and pink flowers in alkaline soil above pH 5.5. Calcium and iron are important nutrients because calcium builds strong bones and supports muscle growth and blood clotting, while iron carries oxygen in red blood cells as part of hemoglobin. The agave plant lives in deserts because its thick, waxy leaves can store water and it has long roots to obtain water from deep in the soil.

    1) How does rat-tailed maggot survive in polluted water?
    1) The rat-tailed maggot can live in badly-polluted water because it
    can get oxygen from the air using its long breathing tube which sticks
    out of the water surface.
    2) Explain the colour change in Hydrangea plant, When pH changes?
    Most Hydrangea which grows in acidic soil below pH 5.5 has blue
    flowers while Hydrangea which grows in alkaline soil has pink
    flowers.
    3) Why is calcium and Iron-rich food being important in our diet?
    3) Calcium is needed in our body to build strong bones and teeth, for
    our muscle growth and blood clotting. Iron is needed to make
    haemoglobin, the red pigment in red blood cells.
    4) Study the leaves of Birds nest fern and Agave? Which plant lives in
    desert Explain your answer.
    4) The plant Agave lives in desert because they have thith lear thick
    leaves which store more water and they have long roots.
