Question

Plants that have morphological and anatomical adaptations to reduce transpiration rates are common in ________.

• A. mesophytes
• B. xerophytes
• C. hydrophytes
• D. all of angiosperms

Answer 1

The correct option is B

xerophytes

Mesophytes are plants that are adapted to moderate amounts of water in the environment, xerophytes are adapted to very dry environments, whereas hydrophytes are adapted to aquatic environments. Xerophytes have morphological and anatomical adaptations to reduce transpiration rates in order to minimize loss of water.
