Question

A cactus plant saves water by ___? options are ( not having leaves , growing in deserts , making food in its s

Answer 1

A cactus plant saves water by its waxy coating on their stems. The waxy coating prevents water loss. The stems are photosynthetic, green, and fleshy. The inside of the stem is either spongy or hollow (depending on the cactus). A thick, waxy coating keeps the water inside the cactus from evaporating.

Answer 2

a cactus plant takes up comparatively less water from the soil.i guess because it does not have leaves

Answer 3

Not having leaves is probably the main way they save water.

Answer 4

The cactus is a xerophytic plant. adopted to live in xeric condition like desert. the plant is highly modified that the leaves are modified into spine, The plant body is covered by a thick waxy layer cuticle. The stem itself takes part in photosynthesis.

hence the answer for your question is not heaving leaves.

Answer 5

not having leaves...they have spines which is one of the adaptations tat cactus plants go to save water ..leaves help in photosynthesis,

respiration and

transpiration (the process in which water frm plants is lost)

so to prevent frm losing what little water they could save cactus plants produce spines in place of leaves..
