Physiological adaptations of endotherms to maintain body temperature include changes to rate , hibernation or , evaporative cooling and heat exchange . 3 transpiration exchange balance Xylem dehydration cooling The main form of water loss from plants is , which is required to move water up the and for evaporative . Water is also lost when stomata are open for gas . Plants that live in areas of low water availability must achieve a between how much water the plant can afford to lose for cooling , transpiration , exchange of gases and the risk of . 4 storing arid exposure internal stomata woody concentration Xerophytes are plants that live in conditions and have adaptations that equip them to achieve this balance and survive in their hostile environment .
