Photosynthesis takes place in the stem of the cactus. Needles are the cactus' equivalent of leaves. But they don't have enough surface area to support photosynthesis or to store photosynthetic byproducts. So the cactus' stem is bigger, taller, and wider than in many other plants. The cactus needs all that extra space to move around and store water, dissolved nutrients, and byproducts of the photosynthetic interaction with sunlight.

How does the cactus produce food if the leaves are no longer able to do photosynthesis?
The stem which is the thick part of the cactus plant stores food.:)
What part of the cactus does photosynthesis?
In a cactus the leaves have been reduced to spines, to reduce the surface area from which water can be lost and to deter animals from eating the plant. As there are no leaves, photosynthesis must take place in the stem.
What part of a cactus is adapted for photosynthesis?
The spikes, as this is there eqivelant to leaves.
What part of a leaf does photosynthesis most occur?
mesophyll cells
Photosynthesis occur in what part of cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, a vital organelle in the plant cell.
In which part of the moss does photosynthesis occur?
photosynthesis occurs in the gametophyte

Is cactus an autotroph?
A cactus is an autotroph. This is because autotrophs make their own food using photosynthesis. A cactus uses photosynthesis to make its own food.
