mostly stored water, as they are well adapted to the dry desert environment.
It has spines or needles to protect it and it can store water inside of it for dry days with no rainfall or water
yes
In cactus leaves are absent. Chlorophyll are found in trunk mainly.
A chloroplast is a jelly
A cactus makes food through the process of photosynthesis, like any other plant. The difference between a cactus making food from another plant is that cactus have their leaves reduced to spines, therefore, their stem contains chlorophyll and photosynthesis takes place through the stem.
Some examples of chlorophyll are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c1, and chlorophyll c2. These are the most common types of chlorophyll found in plants and algae. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis.
The stem of a cactus performs the function of a leaf because it has evolved to carry out photosynthesis. In some cacti, the stem is able to produce chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis, enabling the plant to generate energy from sunlight. This adaptation allows cacti to survive in arid environments where leaves would lose too much water through transpiration.
Yes, cacti do contain chlorophyll, which allows them to carry out photosynthesis and produce their own food using sunlight. This is essential for their survival in their often arid environments.

Sunlight helps a desert cactus to grow. It's needed for photosynthesis. The sun brings its light to the photosynthetic interaction. The cactus plant brings its water, dissolved nutrients, and chlorophyll. The photosynthetic interaction between the sun and the cactus produces energizing starches and sugars. The energizing photosynthetic products are needed to fuel all of the cactus' life sustaining activities, such as growth, fruiting, and flowering.
Chlorophyll pigment is found in chloroplast and in chloroplast stacks of round green structure called thylakoids have chlorophyll which is resposible for green color of leaves. again chloroplast inside chloroplast thylakoids contain chlorophyll

The cactus adapted to its harsh environment by developing thick skin to slow the evaporation of water. The leaves changed in order to reduce the surface area that water could evaporate from and over time became defensive spines to protect itself from animals trying to get inside its thick skin for the moisture. The cactus makes its food, by having chlorophyll throughout the rest of plant. That is why the entire cactus is green.
Cactus plants have thick fleshly stems.They look like thick leaves but instead they are modified stems.They can store water for long dry weather.Their green colour shows the presence of chlorophyll,an essential input for photosynthesis.
This sounds like one of those grafted things where the red ball cactus is grafted on top of a green one as the red one contains no chlorophyll so cannot support itself and relies on the green one .Just treat it like any other cactus water sparingly and keep the air round it dry.
Chlorophyll gives cactus stems their green color. A cactus has chlorophyll because of the stem's photosynthetic interaction with sunlight to make cactus foods. In many other plants, photosynthesis takes place in the leaves. But cactus needles don't offer a large enough surface for photosynthesis to take place or for photosynthetic byproducts to be stored. Instead, needles have reduced surface areas to stop surface evaporation of moisture. So photosynthesis instead must take place within the larger surface area of the stem.
