What else can I help you with?
Can a cactus survive on Mars with only one teaspoon of water?
No. A Cactus needs oxygen for respiration. Also needs nutrients from the soil.
Do cactus get minerals?
Cacti obtain their nutrients from the soil via their roots.
Why is my cactus growing skinny?
Your cactus may be growing skinny due to insufficient sunlight, overwatering, or lack of nutrients in the soil. Adjusting these factors can help your cactus grow healthier and fuller.
Is a cactus is a producer?
Yes, a cactus is a producer. It makes energizing food from the photosynthetic interaction of sunlight with the plant's water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients. That food feeds the cactus, and cactus body parts may feed the consumers of the food chain.
Is a cactus a producers?
Yes, a cactus is a producer. It makes energizing food from the photosynthetic interaction of sunlight with the plant's water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients. That food feeds the cactus, and cactus body parts may feed the consumers of the food chain.
How does the cactus develop or grow?
As with any plant, the cactus depends upon the water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients that its roots take in from the soil, or from the air if they're air hanging epiphytes. The cactus also depends upon the sunlight that directs its rays towards the cactus stem, for the photosynthetic interaction with water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients. And the cactus depends upon the energizing photosynthetic byproducts for carrying on life sustaining activities. Additionally, the cactus depends upon the proper functioning of buds and meristems to grow upwards.
Is a cacti an omnivore or a carnivore?
Cacti is the plural of cactus. A cactus is a plant and isn't an anything~ivore. It lives by absorbing water and nutrients from its surrounding soil, through its roots.
If the roots are cut and the cactus removed but some roots remain below ground will the cactus regrow?
Yes, cactus plants have roots.Specifically, a cactus plant needs roots to take in moisture and dissolved nutrients from the soil. It is upon this underground supply of moisture and dissolved nutrients that the entire plant depends for survival and growth. Additionally, roots keep the plant anchored in the ground or - in the case of epiphytic cactus plants - to the branches of trees.
What does a cactus plant need to flower?
A cactus plant needs dissolved nutrients from the soil in order to flower. Of particular need are potassium and especially phosphorus. A cactus also needs pollinators. And it needs a rainfall, to burst suddenly into colorful bloom.
What is a very tall cactus that can store water inside there stem?
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.
How the cactus gets its food?
The cactus gets its food by taking in water and dissolved nutrients through the roots. The nutrients and water flow up through the stem. With the help of sunlight, the photosynthetic process takes place of changing water and nutrients into such energizers as sugars and carbohydrates. The energy sources then are sent throughout the plant to help in such basic processes as growing and flowering.
Do jackrabbits eat cactus?
Yes, jackrabbits can eat cactus as part of their diet. They have the ability to consume a variety of plant material, including cactus pads and fruits, to obtain the necessary nutrients and water. However, they may avoid cacti with sharp spines to prevent injury.
