Question

11. Mountain ranges close to coastal regions have

Answer 1

The species likely living in an ecosystem on the other side of the mountain farthest from the coast is the cactus.

• Cacti are evergreen plants. Their stems might be meaty or succulent, cylindrical or flattened.
• The stems are green in colour and photosynthetic, usually fulfilling this job instead of leaves, which are scarce or nonexistent in most adult cacti.

Most cactus species are well-defended by spiky bristles and spines that repel most animals.

• Cacti are xerophytic plants, which means they are physiologically and morphologically suited to the high water shortages of dry ecosystems like deserts.

• Cacti's xerophytic adaptations include (1) succulent, water-retaining stems, (2) a thick, waxy cuticle, and few or no leaves to decrease water losses through transpiration.
