In cactus the leaves are reduced to spines in order to prevent water loss through transpiration though the stomata.Besides,the stem is also covered by a waxy coating which prevents water loss.Thus,cactus requires very less amount of water in order to survive
some are the Joshua Tree, cactus some kinds of cactus is, Nopal cactus, Prickly pear cactus, and Black Lace Cactus :)
.....The Banana Plant....
The roots to a cactus are long thick and go very wide and deep. When it rains the roots absorb the water and store it in its leaves. The cactus doesnt need a lot of water. A couple drops a year will keep it alive. Its leaves are protected with spines.
Cacti have thick, fleshy stems because water is stored in them. The stems are green so that cacti can live by photosynthesis, the process by which organisms containing chlorophyll transform light energy into chemical energy. ... Thick, waxy coating on succulent stems of cacti keeps water from evaporating from inside.
The plants are designed (or evolved) to store extra water in the plant body or in underground roots when there is rain or water available and the skin of the plants keeps moisture in the plant from evaporating.
yes
Because they already have liquid inside of them to keep them from dehydrating.
Of coures its a cactus because all the cactus's would be dead if they didn't live in the desert!!:)
Yes, people can live without cactus plants if they're outside the plant's native range in North and Latin America. But no, they can't live without cactus plants if they're within the plants' native ranges. Within desert and jungle America, the cactus plays a key role in the environment. For example, the desert cactus is the main vegetative cover that conserves water, disperses sunlight, holds soil together, and provides color and oxygen in an otherwise drab, dry, extreme, harsh environment. The jungle cactus interacts in mutually beneficial ways with the trees on which it's anchored.
A cactus can store water in its fleshy stem and this enables it to survive periods of drought.
up to 4 months
it needs water
no, can you live under water for months with no oxygen. then think about fish they can live with out water.
As a cactus is a form of a plant, it will require sunlight for photosynthesis and water to stop it from drying out and to help the cactus plant grow.
For a while, yes. Turtles can live up to three months without water. This is not to say that you shouldn't try to find it as fast as possible.
Not very often because cactuses are designed to live a long period without water. I would suggest once every week is fine.
Although there are cacti that live in the rain forest, the average desert cactus will quickly rot and die if too much water is present.
