Question

difference between terrestrial and desert plants in the term of photosynthesis

Answer 1

The stomata of desert plants remain closed during daytime to avoid transpiration. Instead they open at night time to absorb co2 which is acted upon and converted into glucose later in daytime in presence of sunlight.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the terrestrial plant, photosynthesis occurs with the help of leaves, which contains chlorophyll that is responsible to carry out photosynthesis in the presence of the sunlight with the help of water and carbon dioxide.

In terrestrial plants, the stomata contain guard cells, which control the opening and closing of stomata, which provide carbon dioxide when plants demand it.

In the desert plants, the leaves are transformed into spines, to prevent the loss of water. In desert plant CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism)  photosynthesis takes place.

In these plant, the stomata open during a night in order to obtain carbon dioxide for the process of photosynthesis. During the daytime, the stomata of the desert plant remain closed to prevent water loss.
