How do snails, seeds, bears, zooplanktons, fungi and bacteria adapt to conditions unfavourable for their survival?

Solution

The various ways in which the animal adapt to unfavourable conditions are:

Snails undergo aestivation to avoid summer-related problems like excessive heat and desiccation.
Seeds go into a state of ‘dormancy’ in which they reduce their metabolic activities. They germinate when the conditions are again favourable.
Bears go into hibernation to avoid the harsh winter conditions in which they reduce their body metabolic activities to a great extent.
Zooplanktons undergo a state of ‘Diapause’ that is a stage of suspended development)

Fungi form thick-walled spores to survive the unfavourable conditions and germinate on the availability of suitable conditions.

Bacteria adapt to unfavourable conditions by forming endospores.
