Question

1. all plants need inputs of water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to carry out photosynthesis, just like this cactus plant. given its external appearance (a stubby body with a thick, waxy coating) which of these three inputs is it specially adapted to conserve? a. carbon dioxide b. sunlight c. water

Explanation:

Cacti live in arid environments. The thick, waxy coating on their body helps reduce water loss through transpiration. Water conservation is crucial for their survival in such habitats. Carbon dioxide and sunlight are not the main resources this adaptation targets.

Answer:

C. Water
