How do desert plant prevent loss of water drom their body?
Answers
Answer:
Some plants have a waxy cuticle (impermeable to water to reduce water loss).
In extremely hot weather the stomata ( pores on the lower epidermis) close to reduce water loss.
Some plants have stomata in 'pits' in the epidermis to reduce water loss.

How do desert plants save water? Desert plants work hard to make use of what's available. They use the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into sugar, a process called photosynthesis. During this process, stomata on a plant's leaves and stems open to absorb carbon dioxide from the air and in return release oxygen. Each time a plant opens its pores, some water escapes. This is called transpiration.
Replacing this lost water is not easy with so little annual moisture, and if the water cannot be replaced, the desert plants will die. So desert plants have acquired special adaptations that help them reduce water loss. Here are some of their adaptations:
» Smaller, fewer, and deeper pores
» Waxy cover
» little leaves or spines
