How does a cactus make food when it doesn't have leaves?

What do cactus eat?
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.
What are the quills attached to on a cactus?
The 'spines' of a cactus attach directly to the stem of the plant.
