Halophiles are organisms that thrive in high salt concentrations. The adaptations of halophile organisms to their environment are: (a) The integrity of non-halophile macromolecules is compromised, and the flow of water out of the cell produces a Turgor effect. • (b) Moderate halophiles maintain their structures via the synthesis of compatible organic solutes. • (c) Extreme halophiles maintain their structures via equilibration of cellular and environmental salt concentrations.

They are called Xerophyte because they are species of plant that has adaptations/adaptive features like waxy cuticles which enables them to survive in extremely dry land.

Tadpole's ability to swim and adapt to an aquatic habitat is due to the presence of its tail.

The tapeworm possesses a thin membrane mostly because of it absorption of digested food from the intestine of the host.

Starch is the main and first product formed during photosynthesis because the simple sugar formed is partly used by the plant and excess of it is converted into starch immediately for storage and the starch is transported to other parts of the plant through the phloem vessels for storage.

Systemic circulation involves the movement of blood between the heart and all other parts of the body besides the lungs.

Mutation involves the changes in the genes of an organism due to some factors resulting in a new character that can be inherited.

DNA is located in the nucleus of cells. It is responsible for the storage of organisms's hereditary traits and helps in directing the day to day metabolic activities of each cell in the organic.

Albinism is the condition in which the skin of an animal is non-pigmented because of lack of the pigment called Melanin. It is controlled by Recessive genes.

Spermatogenesis is the process whereby male sex cells or gametes (sperms) are produced in the testis.
