Water, dissolved nutrients, and byproductsof photosynthesis are stored in the cactus stem. The water and the dissolved nutrients are sent up into the stem from the cactus plant's roots. They're held in the stem until they can be used in the photosynthetic interaction with sunlight. From that interaction are made the energizing carbohydrates, starches and sugars that the cactus needs for such activities as flowering, fruiting, growing, reproducing, and responding to stresses and stressors.
Cactus doesn't have a big stem to save lots of water but then it converts the water extracted by the root in the form of gel.. u can see water in gel form if u cut open the cactus plant.....
A cactus stores water in its stem.
A flower cactus
yes
cactus have a hollow stem. it is where they store water and food for survival
A cactus stores water in its stem.
A cactus that stores water in its stem is called a stem succulent. The stem has tissues that are capable storing large quantities of water. The stem also has a thick waterproof epidermis covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents loss of water due by evaporation. Examples of stem succulents - Cardon Cactus, Organ Pipe Cactus, Saguaro Cactus
A cactus stores most of its water in its stem or body
A succulent and a cactus both store water in their spongy stem or leaves.
An interesting fact about a cactus is that a cactus has a thick, juicy and swollen stem inside his body which helps it to store water and when it gets thirsty because of the extremely hot weather, he can drink the water anytime he wants.
The stem of a cactus is able to store water during rainy periods for use during a drought.
A cactus can store water in its fleshy stem and this enables it to survive periods of drought.
Enlarged stems carry out photosynthesis and store water. Unlike many other succulents, the stem is the only part of a true cactus where this takes place. Much like many other plants that have waxy coatings on their leaves, Cacti often have a waxy coating on their stems to prevent water loss. This works by preventing water from spreading on the surface and allowing water to trickle down the stem to be absorbed by the roots and used for photosynthesis. Cacti have a thick, hard-walled, succulent stem - when it rains, water is stored in the stem. The stems are photosynthetic, green, and fleshy. The inside of the stem is either spongy or hollow (depending on the cactus). A thick, waxy coating keeps the water inside the cactus from evaporating.
Leaves provide extra surface area for water to evaporate out of the plant. In the arid desert, plants need all the water they can get.
The cactus has the ability to store water in its fleshy stem so it can survive long periods of drought.
Water is stored in tissue in the stem of the cactus.
