- Pines and other plants that grow in very cold climates have sunken stomata just like the plants of the desert, yet the annual precipitation where they grow may be very abundant. Is there any advantage to their having such a modification?arrow_forwardWelwitschia is a genus of plant that lives in the Namib andMossamedes Deserts in Africa. Annual rainfall averages only2.5 cm (1 inch) per year. Welwitschia plants contain a large numberof stomata (22,000 per cm2), which remain closed most of the time.Can you suggest how a large number of stomata would be beneficialto these desert plants?arrow_forwardSCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Grasslands typically do not flourishwhen large herbivores are removed. Instead, grasslands arereplaced by broad-leaved herbaceous eudicots, shrubs, andtrees.

Why must vascular tissues precede the evolution of roots and active apical meristems?arrow_forwardWhat are stomata? Living cells that form long, sieve-like tubes that transport carbohydrates. Non-vascular plants. Hollow vessels produced from dead cells that transport water and nutrient Small pores surrounded by two guard cells that allow water evaporation.arrow_forwardKindly provide 2 examples plants having "adaptations for cladophyll" including (i) mechanical support (ii) transportation or root materials (iii) production of new plantsarrow_forward
