Imagine an environment that is very dry and receives a lot of sunlight water is found deep below the soilwhich of the four groups of plants could survive in this environment?

Answer 1

CAM plants include succulents and cacti and are specifically designed to survive in very dry, arid environments. They only open their stomata at night, thereby reducing water loss through the leaves while obtaining CO2.

C4 plants would not "survive" as well as a CAM plant in a very dry environment but they would surely do much better than C3 plants, which lose 97% of their water intake right back out of their leaves through transpiration. C4 plants fix CO2 twice instead of only once to more effectively use water.

Answer 2

Plants with deep roots, such as cacti, succulents, and desert shrubs, would be better adapted to survive in this environment. These plants are able to access water deep below the soil surface and have adaptations to minimize water loss in dry conditions. Their ability to tolerate intense sunlight and lack of surface water will help them thrive in this environment.

Answer 3

Adaptations to absorb and conserve water helps plants to suevive in dry environment.
