What else can I help you with?
How long was the desert there?
Deserts have existed here on earth longer than dinosaurs.
What do fibrous root look like?
fibrous roots have more than one root which in that case a carrot does not have fibrous roots because the carrot itself is a root.
Why is it important for the roots of many desert plants to remain near the soil rather than to grow deep in the soil?
Because it is close to the water. :-)
What are radical plant roots?
Radical plant roots refer to the primary root system that develops from the seedling. These roots help anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and nutrients. They are usually larger and longer than the lateral roots that develop later on.
What is the rule regarding fingernails in netball?
Your nails should not be longer than your finger itself.
Will ice water stay colder longer than just ice by itself?
Yes.
What is the amount of rain in a desert to keep the desert status?
If a desert would receive more than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain per year on average consistently over many years it would no longer be considered a desert.
Why can plants in the desert survive?
Desert plants have several adaptations that allow them to survive. Their roots go deeper than plants in moister climates, to maximize water intake. They don't have leaves, which allow water to evaporate.
What desert has had no recorded rainfall?
Parts of the Atacama Desert in South America have received no measurable rainfall in historic times.
What is a primary root that is longer and thicker than the secondary roots?
The primary root that is longer and thicker than secondary roots is called the taproot. Taproots grow vertically downward and are typically responsible for anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients from deeper in the soil. Secondary roots branch off from the taproot and help to increase the plant's ability to absorb resources.
What might happen to a plant that has a genetic mutation that results in shorter Root's?
The plant's roots would probably get more water and sunlight than longer roots do because it is higher to the surface of the soil so the two sources for survival reaches the roots faster.
