Plants overcome desiccation through several adaptations. They often develop protective structures like a waxy cuticle on their leaves to reduce water loss. Additionally, many plants have deep root systems to access groundwater, while some can enter a dormant state during dry periods. Other mechanisms include closing stomata during hot weather to minimize transpiration and utilizing specialized metabolic pathways, like CAM photosynthesis, to conserve water.
What else can I help you with?
How have land plants evolved to deal with desiccation?
also gas exchange and distribution of water?
One of the greatest challenges for plants moving onto land was avoiding?
Desiccation, as land plants had to develop adaptations to prevent water loss from their tissues.

Where can you find an example of desiccation?
Desiccation is used to describe an object which is in a state of extreme dryness. As an example, in the natural world desiccation is the drying out of a living object such as a fish out of water or crops in a drought.
How do you overcome the problem of excessive waste?
Bulid incineration plants in the country.
Why do plants have to store food?
The plants store food to overcome unfavourable periods of growth and making continuity of life.
Banana leaves on maturity tear into ribbons to avoid?
In order to avoid desiccation
What causes desiccation disc?
The cause of disc desiccation is from replacement of the hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans within the nucleus polyposis with fibrocartilage. It is considered a degenerative disorder.
Why was the evolution of spores important to the success of life on land?
Spores allowed plants to reproduce and disperse in a dry environment, enabling them to colonize land. Spores served as a protective mechanism against desiccation and helped plants survive in diverse habitats. This adaptation was essential for the transition of plants from aquatic to terrestrial environments.
What is an antidesiccant?
An antidesiccant is an agent which prevents desiccation.
What is a scientific word that means evaporation?
Desiccation.
