Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Cacti are fascinating plants known for their ability to thrive in arid, desert environments. Their unique adaptations are crucial for survival in these harsh conditions with limited water availability and scorching temperatures. One key adaptation is their spines. While often perceived as menacing, these sharp structures are modified leaves that minimize water loss by reducing surface area exposed to the dry air.
Furthermore, cacti possess thick, fleshy stems capable of storing large amounts of water absorbed during infrequent rainfall. This stored water sustains them during prolonged periods of drought. Their extensive root systems, often shallow and widespread, are another vital adaptation. These roots efficiently absorb water from brief desert rains before it evaporates.
Interestingly, some cacti species display a remarkable adaptation known as CAM photosynthesis. Unlike most plants that open their stomata during the day for gas exchange, cacti with CAM photosynthesis open their stomata at night. This minimizes water loss through transpiration, as cooler nighttime temperatures reduce evaporation. By absorbing carbon dioxide at night and storing it for use during the day, these cacti efficiently conserve water while still performing photosynthesis.
In conclusion, the cactus''s ability to survive in unforgiving deserts is a testament to its remarkable adaptations. From minimizing water loss through spines and specialized photosynthesis to maximizing water storage and absorption, cacti are masters of desert survival.
