What else can I help you with?
A plant in the desert would most likely have which root system?
A plant in the desert would likely have a deep taproot system to reach deep into the soil for water. This type of root system helps the plant access water sources that are located further underground, allowing it to survive in arid conditions.
Is it true that a large root system near the surface is a special structure of some desert plants?
True
How big is an eco system?
An ecosystem can be as large as the Sahara Desert.
Why would a plant in the desert have a large root system close to the surface?
because its roots spred out because the roots sense the water and therfor they extend far away so that they can reach the water The roots would be near the surface because when there is precipitation, it does not penetrate the ground very far. Since there is very little precipitation in the desert a plant would need to maximize the area from which to gather water, hence the very large root system.
Is a large root system near surface is a special structure of some desert plants?
Yes, some desert plants have evolved large root systems near the surface to quickly absorb water during rare rain events and to spread out to capture as much moisture as possible. These roots are adapted to be shallow to cover a wide area and maximize water intake.
Why do cactus have a large root system?
Cactus have a large root system to soak up maximal amounts of moisture. They need as much as they can get in the desert with the ground mainly being incredibly dry. The roots have large surface area again to soak up as much moisture as possible.
Desert plants are characterized by?
Desert plants are characterized by their ability to survive with limited water resources, often through adaptations such as deep root systems, succulent leaves, and reduced leaf surface area to minimize water loss. They also usually have mechanisms to tolerate high temperatures and intense sunlight commonly found in arid environments.
Why does a cactus live in the desert?
Cacti are (generally) found in deserts as they have adapted to survive in the desert environment. For example, they have a very low surface area compared to their volume to reduce water loss in the hot desert climate, and also have very large root systems which enable them to gather water from a large radius.
Why a camel can move fast in a desert?
Large Foot: Large surface area of the camels feet allows it to move easily in the desert dune where pressure is inversely proportional to area hence large area gives a smaller pressure for the camel to move easily.
How large is desert island?
There is no spefified size for a desert island. They can be small or large.
What organ in the digestive system has an extremely large surface to volume ratio?
the small intestine
What is the name of the large desert that runs along the coast of Africa?
