Question

Cacti carry on photosynthesis through their spines. True or False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The cactus performs this through stems as the leaves are modified into spines. Photosynthesis is a physiochemical or photo-biochemical process(anabolic and endergonic ) in which organic compounds are synthesized into inorganic raw materials in the presence of light and pigment.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Soft, broad leaves might be good at photosynthesis, but they lose a lot of water due to evaporation.

Over time, cacti modified them into clusters of sharp spines or hairs.
