Question

4. How do desert plants adapt to the extreme drought and extreme temperature conditions?

​

Answer 1

Many have the ability to close leaf pores, called stomata, through which gas and water are exchanged, during drought conditions. Many desert plants, such as the brittlebush, reduce the temperature of their leaves by reflecting sunlight with a thick covering of hairs. Small leaves are another way of reducing water loss.
