A cactus takes in oxygen above and below ground. Below ground, it takes in oxygen as part of the water molecule with hydrogen. It does so through its spreading, shallow, fibrous roots.
Above ground, it takes oxygen in from the air. It does so through the gas exchange that's regulated by the guard cells on either side of the stem's breathing pores, or stomata. Atmospheric oxygen exists as oxygen and in water vapor.
A barrel cactus [Echinocactus and Ferocactus spp] needs both carbon dioxide and oxygen. It needs to take in carbon dioxide, for its photosynthetic interaction with sunlight. It needs oxygen, which forms the water molecule with hydrogen.
The Barrel Cactus s beneficial to Humans because it makes oxygen and oxygen is what we breathe
take a cactus, and whack it repeatedly on your ***
During the day, cacti take in carbon dioxide through their stomata for photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. At night, they continue to respire like other plants, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
No. A Cactus needs oxygen for respiration. Also needs nutrients from the soil.
Yes, there are many varieties of cactus that flower, one is the Barrel cactus. Take a trip to your local nursery store.
You get the cactus take out the prickles and put it on the grill and fire et up!
Carbon Dioxide Leaves Oxygen
9+12=21
her stuff. . . . . (a cactus in the movie.)
Yes, like all plants, Saguaro cacti undergo photosynthesis and produce oxygen as a byproduct. However, the amount of oxygen they produce is significantly lower compared to other types of plants due to their relatively small leaf surface area.
It would probably suffer from root rot and die. The cacti are not water plants.
