Photosynthesis occurs in all green plants,yet the main photosynthetic activity is associated with a stem.
Photosynthesis occurs in cactus through CAM process and through their green stems.
Explanation:
This process occurs in most of the plants which are of succulent type. In this process of photosynthesis, the stomata of the plants remains open only during the night time. This has an advantage that less moisture is lost during transpiration.
The leaves of the cactus plant are adapted in such a way that they are converted or transformed into spines. These have no role in photosynthesis. However, it helps in protecting the plant from animals.
The stems of cacti plant helps in performing the process of photosynthesis. These are usually green in color and are contains the pigment 'chlorophyll' which is necessary for performing photosynthesis. These stems helps the cactus plant to prepare their own food by photosynthesis.
