Question

Describe and explain two ways in which the leaves of desert plants reduce water loss in transpiration.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Stomata are the holes in plant leaves through which they transpire water. Many desert plants have very small stomata and fewer stomata than those of other plants. ... This adaptation helps cacti reduce water loss by keeping the hot, dry wind from blowing directly across the stomata.

${\bold{\underline{\underline{Two\:ways \:of\: Transpiration \:in\:Desert\:Plant \: :}}}}$

Desert plants are adapted to their arid environment in many different ways.

Stomata are the holes in plant leaves through which they transpire water.

This adaptation helps cacti reduce water loss by keeping the hot, dry wind from blowing directly across the stomata.

Water loss through transpiration can be reduced by closing the stomata in the leaves using a substance called ABA.

When the stomata is closed photosynthesis will decrease because no CO2 can enter through the closed stomata.

Less photosynthesis means less energy is produced by the plant and the plant stops growing.
