Answer:

The correct answers are:

-spines to protect plants against animals seeking water and

-a waxy coating on leaves to reduce water loss

Explanation:

In the desert, water scarcity is the main problem which plant and animal species face mainly during the hot and dry summer. So plants and animals become adapted and evolved according to the environment.

These adaptation in plants are:

1. Formation of spines: In some desert plant leaves are converted into spines to reduce water loss and to discourage animals to eat plant parts that are used to store water.

2. Waxy coating of leaves: There is a waxy coating on plant leaves that lives in deserted area which prevent the water loss through transpiration.

So spines and waxy coating are two examples show adaptations in plants that grow in the desert.

Concept map: how do different types of molecules pass through membranes
zlopas [31]
The cell membrane is semi permeable in nature, that is, it allows the passage of some substances while it disallows some substances. Small and non polar molecules pass quite easily through the cell membrane but large and polar molecules can not do this. 
The substances which can easily pass through the cell membranes make use of passive transports such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion to enter the cells while substances which can not pass through the cell membranes on their own make use of active transport. Examples of active transport are endocytosis and ectocytosis,
