Desert plants are known to have taproots. With these types of roots there are two components which consist of the primary root and secondary lateral roots. These types of roots can also be found on dandelions, carrots, radishes, potatoes, and beets.

∙ 15y agoAccording to my studies in botany, Taproots are more commonly found on desert plants due to their growth pattern. Taproots normally grow long and are thin and are very good for getting to that deep moisture in the earth.

Would you expect a tall desert plant to be a vascular plant or a non vascular plant?
my understanding is that vascular plants are able to grow tall because of the strength and stability that the vascular tissue provides. so the tall tree in the forest would be a vascular plant
What biome would a succulent plant live in?
you would expect to find them in a environment that is hot like the desert because it can store large amounts of water
Which part of a plant would you expect to find cells with chloroplasts?
Not in the leaves
Which organelle would you expect to find in a animal cells but not plant calls?
The organelle you expect to find in a animal cell but not in a plant cells is the centriole.
What part of plant takes in water?
That would be the roots. Major functions are the absorption of water and nutrients and for anchoring the plant to the ground. The outer surface of the primary root is called the epidermis. The process in which water is absorbed into the epidermal cells is called osmosis.
Would you expect a desert plant or swamp plant to have more root hairs?
yes cause the desert is a dry land so they need more roots to get water to the plant -science teacher 101

Would you expect to find chloroplast in cells of a root?
Chloroplast is Only in Plant cells. It contains Chlorophyll. Plant Roots Do Contain Chloroplasts.
How would you expect the root hair cells from a desert plant to differ from those of a tropical rain forest plant?
i have to ask my teacher
In which climate would you expect to find a plant with smooth thick skin enclosing a gelfilled interior?
desert
Would you expect a tall desert plant to be a vascular plant why?
Due to scarcity of water only vascular plants can get some height in deserts.
In which climate would you expect to find a plant with smooth thick skin enclosing a gel-filled interior?
desert
Would you expect a plant's roots or leaves to have more chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts need sunlight for its function. So leaves have more chloroplasts
Would you expect to find sclerenchyma cells in roots?
i think so
Why would a plant in the desert have a large root system close to the surface?
because its roots spred out because the roots sense the water and therfor they extend far away so that they can reach the water The roots would be near the surface because when there is precipitation, it does not penetrate the ground very far. Since there is very little precipitation in the desert a plant would need to maximize the area from which to gather water, hence the very large root system.
Would a tall desert plant be vascular or non vascular?
A tall desert plant would be a vascular plant.
