Question

Due to ability of less water how does the plant cope up with lack of water in desert conditions

Answer 1

The plants found in desert have deep roots as well as thick leave,have throne so water can't be evaporated. So nature have provided plants of desert such kind of adaptation to survive in scarcity of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

The plants found in the dessert have deep roots as well as thick leaves , so water cannot be evaporated 1. Their leaves are modified into spines, which reduces transpiration to almost nil. The stem is modified into succulent stems, which appear as broad leaf. These modified stems have stomata but they remain closed during day time so as to reduce transpiration. At night, these stomata opens and takes CO2 in. Other things required for photosynthesis like H2O is absorbed through out the day and night and chlorophyll is already present. Since they take CO2 at night, half of photosynthesis process takes place at night thus forming an intermediate sugar product which are stored in chloroplast and next day, in presence of sunlight, that intermediate product changes to starch, thus completing the photosynthesis (CAM pathway).
