C3 Photosynthetic pathways are the carbon fixation pathways used by cacti and other such desert plants. In this type of carbon fixation pathway there are 3 initial products that contain 3-carbon compounds.
C4 plants are more efficient at photosynthesis and use less water compared to C3 plants, making them better adapted to arid environments. Their unique carbon fixation pathway allows them to minimize water loss through transpiration, giving them a competitive advantage in dry conditions like deserts.
Plants in the desert make food through photosynthesis, a process in which they use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar) for energy. These plants often have adaptations like deep root systems, succulent tissues, and reduced leaves to conserve water and survive in the arid conditions of the desert.
Using an alternative C4 pathway, desert plants photosynthesize early in the morning in order to generate energy when it is cooler and more moist. Later in the day photosynthesis slows and stomata close in order to conserve moisture.
because we need to. what if you were hit with nuclear weapons? what if you had no water? It's mostly because that the desert is very interesting. A lot of scientists would probably love to be able to study the different plants and animals of the desert.
Desert environments typically have limited water availability, which affects plant growth. Tall trees require ample water to sustain their height and large root systems. In deserts, plants have adapted to conserve water, leading to the prevalence of shorter and drought-tolerant vegetation like shrubs and cacti.
Some cactuses in the desert have water in them

The desert.

Yes Cactuses are Alive because it is a Plant and Plants are Living Things so the Science Theory Proves that Cactuses are Alive in the Desert.
well it depends on which desert but mostly cactuses and weeds

A desert need not have ANY cacti to be called a desert. A desert is simply a large region that is rather dry.

sand dunes, rocks, cactuses trees, wadis (type of occasional river)
The answer is number 3 (prickly pear cactuses- Desert rats) :)
