How do swollen leaves help a plant to survive in warm conditions?
The swollen leaves are narrow so that less sunlight can be taken in for the plant because it already gets alot since its habitat is a warm enviroment so less sunlight would be ideal for it. So therefore less sunlight is taken in at the top of the leaves.
What are three adaptations that might help plants survive in a very windy environment?
Growing deep into the soil, being flexible but tough, and having thin and needle-like leaves are the adaptations that might help the plant survive in a windy environment.
What helps the purple saxifrage survive in cold?
One of the ways purple saxifrage survive in cold is by not growing too tall. They form a cushion and have overlapping leaves, which also help their survival in cold.
Why would curled up leaves help a plant survive in a hot dry climate?
Even though the leaves are dry and curled they act as ground cover to prevent the moisture in the ground from evaporating poopoo
Cactus physiological adaptations?
Cacti have adapted to hot, dry climates in a number of different ways. Their leaves have grown spines in multiple clusters, which produce shadows on the plant. The spines also help the plant collect precious rain water and the morning dew.
What part of the plant where photosynthesis generally occurs?
Photosynthesis mostly occurs in the leaves cells because the sun hitsmore on the plants than any other part of the plant.
What structural adaptation would help a plant survive better in a shady environment?
Large leaves.
How do needles and thorns help a cactus to survive in the desert?
its because the needles are actually leaves. they are small because if they were bigger, then they would waste water. also, the "leaves" have small waxy cuticles(i think that's how to spell them) that trap water and store it in the cacti's trunk.
Can a praying mantis survive without trees?
I have one and it doesn't have a tree but some sticks and leaves would help
How could the spines on these barrel cacti help the cacti to survive?
The spines are an effective deterrent to herbivores, but also protect the plant stem. The spines increase the surface area available to collect moisture, an additionally help reflect the sun away from the stem and lower the stem temperature.
How does the loss of leaves help plants survive winter or long periods without rain?

How do spines on cacti help protect them?
To discourage animals from eating them.
How do the small leaves of the Ocotillo desert plant help it survive?
search it up on google
Why does cacti have thick stem?
In cacti the leaves have become reduced ( to prevent water loss via transpiration) and the stem has become the photosynthetic body. Being in the stem there are no or very few stomata ( where water is lost from) and the water is able to be stored in the stem to help it survive long times without water. I researched this online this is not my work!
Which of the following is not an adaptation that would help a plant survive in the desert?

Why do some plants have large broad leaves?
To maximise the surface area for photosynthesis, plants increase the size of their leaves
