Question

By looking at the plant in the above diagram, can you tell in what kind of places does it live?
Clues :1) It has no thick branches and leaves
2) Leaves are reduced to spines

• A. Hilly areas
• B. Desert lands
• C. Marshy areas
• D. Plain lands

Answer 1

The correct option is B Desert lands

• The plant in the above diagram is the cactus. Cactus is a member of the plant family Cactaceae. The great majority of cactus has no visible leaves; photosynthesis takes place in the stems (which may be flattened and leaflike in some species). Leaves are reduced to spines.
• Cactus live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama desert, one of the driest places on earth. Cactus show many adaptations to conserve water.

So, the correct answer is 'Desert lands'.
