How did the relative lack of water on land affect how plants evolved?

The relative lack of water on land influenced plants to develop structures like roots to absorb water and transport it throughout the plant. This led to the evolution of specialized tissues for water and nutrient uptake. It also influenced the development of mechanisms to minimize water loss, such as the evolution of cuticles and stomata.


What happens to the body when in the desert?

In the desert, the body can be exposed to extreme heat which can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. The dry air can also result in rapid dehydration and sunburns. Additionally, sandstorms and lack of water and shelter can further contribute to physical stress on the body.


Why does the cacti lack a spongy layer?

Cacti lack a spongy layer in their stems because they have adapted to hot, dry environments with limited water availability. The absence of a spongy layer reduces the surface area for water loss through transpiration, helping cacti conserve water and survive in arid conditions.


What do nonvascular plants lack?

Nonvascular plants lack specialized vascular tissues like xylem and phloem, which are responsible for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients throughout the plant. This lack of vascular tissues means that nonvascular plants are typically smaller in size and restricted to inhabiting moist environments where they can absorb water directly through their tissues.
