C3 Photosynthetic pathways are the carbon fixation pathways used by cacti and other such desert plants. In this type of carbon fixation pathway there are 3 initial products that contain 3-carbon compounds.
Using an alternative C4 pathway, desert plants photosynthesize early in the morning in order to generate energy when it is cooler and more moist. Later in the day photosynthesis slows and stomata close in order to conserve moisture.
they can fix carbon at the lower CO2 concentrations that develop when the stomata are closed
Yes. Some plants have long roots to get water deep in the soil, or branched roots to get water over a wide area. With thick waxy layer on the stems and leaves, water can be retained and the tissues are protected from strong sunshine. Some plants have pin-like leaves to reduce water loss.
desert plants take up carbon dioxide at night and prepare an intermediate which acted upon by the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll during the day
Desert
Some cactuses in the desert have water in them
cactuses
By seed.
The desert.
cactuses ironwood and bushes
animals drink from cactuses because there is no other source of liquid in the desert except for precipitation
Yes Cactuses are Alive because it is a Plant and Plants are Living Things so the Science Theory Proves that Cactuses are Alive in the Desert.
well it depends on which desert but mostly cactuses and weeds
cactuses
A desert need not have ANY cacti to be called a desert. A desert is simply a large region that is rather dry.
Biomes.
sand dunes, rocks, cactuses trees, wadis (type of occasional river)
