Succulent plants and cacti need to store as much water whenever the rain should happen to fall. As the rain may be far between in desert areas, storing water is vital to help the plants to survive.

Why do photosynthesis takes place in desert plants?

Photosynthesis in desert plants occurs during the daytime when temperatures are higher and water availability is lower. These plants have adaptations like CAM or C4 pathways that allow them to conserve water by opening their stomata at night and storing CO2 for use during the day, when photosynthesis takes place. This strategy helps desert plants survive in arid environments with limited water resources.

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?

Plants in a desert ecosystem are likely to have adaptations to conserve water, such as thick waxy coatings or small leaves, while plants in a rainforest ecosystem will have adaptations for high moisture levels, like broad leaves or aerial roots. Desert plants also often have deeper root systems to reach water sources underground, whereas rainforest plants may rely more on shallow roots to access nutrients in the topsoil.
