Yes because they have more room to collect rain drops then the rain drops drip down to there roots so, yes they do get more water with larger and flatter leaves

What is the 2 difference between cactus and lotus plant?

Cacti are desert plants adapted to arid conditions, characterized by thick, fleshy stems that store water, while lotuses are aquatic plants that thrive in water gardens and are known for their large, beautiful flowers and floating leaves. Additionally, cacti typically have spines instead of leaves to reduce water loss, whereas lotuses have broad, flat leaves that emerge above the water's surface.


Does the leaf have a large or small surface area to volume ratio?

the surface area of LEAVES depends. Pine needles and cacti have small surface areas banana leaves, philodendron leaves, and other tropical plants have gigantic ones. it all depends on where the plants are endemic to.


Why aquatic plants like water hyacinth and lotus float on waterexplain.?

Aquatic plants like water hyacinth and lotus float on water primarily due to their specialized structures, including air-filled cavities in their stems and leaves, which provide buoyancy. These adaptations allow them to remain on the water's surface, maximizing their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, their broad, flat leaves help distribute their weight evenly, further enhancing their ability to float.


How does the large surface area of the leaf help it photosynthesise?

For most plants, but not all, the leaves are the main place where energy is trapped from the sun. The leaves have a broad surface (flat shape) to catch as much of the sun as they can.


Is water lily a vines?

No, water lilies are not vines. They are aquatic flowering plants that typically grow in shallow water, with broad, flat leaves that float on the surface. Their stems are anchored in the mud at the bottom of ponds or lakes, allowing them to spread out and bloom above the water. Vines, on the other hand, are climbing or trailing plants that use other structures for support.

What do the large flat leaves do for a lily pad?

The leaves on a water lily give a large surface area for photosynthesis as much of the rest of the plant is underwater.


What are the differences between the dessert and rainforest leaves?

What are some common characteristics of plants with leaves?

Plants with leaves typically have green, flat structures that are used for photosynthesis. They also have a network of veins for transporting water and nutrients. Leaves are usually attached to stems and can vary in size, shape, and texture. Additionally, many plants with leaves undergo a process called transpiration, where they release water vapor through small openings called stomata.


Why have leaves a large flat surface?

The flat surface area of leaves are just because leaves have a function to perforn i.e. photosynthesis and the flat area increases the availability of sunlight which is a mandatory reuirement for the process.


Would a plant with large flat leaves live in the desert?

no


What evidence is there that mammoths were not predators?

Why does a desert plant not have a flat leaf?

Many desert plants have flat leaves so your question is invalid.


Why do leaves have a large surface area?

Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)


How are plants adapted to there environment?

All living creatures are adapted to their environments, plants included. Some specific examples would be cacti in semi-arid deserts that have adapted towards extreme water conservation (no leaves, thick fleshy stems that hold water), deciduous trees in temperate forests that drop their leaves every fall to save energy during the winter months (when there is less light energy for photosynthesis) and water lilies that have large flat leaves that allow them to float on top of the lake waters.
