because they lose water
Crops shrivel up in a drought due to a lack of water, which is essential for their growth and survival. Insufficient moisture leads to reduced photosynthesis, stunted growth, and ultimately, cell dehydration. As plants struggle to conserve water, they close their stomata to minimize water loss, further limiting their ability to absorb carbon dioxide and produce energy. This combination of factors results in wilting and reduced yields.
Cacti have long roots to reach deep water sources underground and store water during drought periods. Their long roots also help anchor them securely in the soil to withstand strong winds in arid environments.
It can live because the cacti can soak up water
they shrink and shrivel up
A drought will dry everything up.
they shrivel up.
so it does't shrivel up.
you shrivel because the water you were in is probably not a saline solution... basically there is salt in your body and if you are in the water for a long time, your skin will shrivel to make up the difference between how much salt is in your cells and how much is in the water
It depends on the species. Some cacti can live for generations up 100-300 years.
Your testicles either "shrivel up" or hang low depending on the temperature of your body. With more heat they sink down, with less heat they constrict.
it would shrivel up
im not sure. but maybe it was the temperature.
