Question

What kind of plant would you most likely find a desert

a) one with broad leaves and a tall Stem
b) one with spiny leaves and a thick Stem
c) one with droopy leaves and a short thin Stem
d) one with long, thin leaves and a long narrow stem
​

Answer 1

Youre answer should be B) One with spiny leaves and a thick stem

Answer 2

b) One with spiny leaves and a thick stem.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Plants growing in desert face scarcity of water and they need to check transpiration rate.
• To reduce the rate of transpiration the leaves of desert plands are reduced to spines, which resulted in a reduced surface area and negligible number of stomata.
• The Stems of Desert plants are modified to store water to prevent desiccation and hence they are thick and succulent.
