Cacti grow in the desert, which is a very hot climate. Not the best for both gaining and maintaining water supplies, due to the fact that water becomes vapour very quickly in conditions such as a desert (unless we're talking about polar deserts).

Keeping their stomata closed during the day stops water vapour from escaping their cells. While this does inhibit growth and stop new water molecules from entering, it allows the cactus to maintain a healthy amount of water within itself.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of a cell. All of the following statements regarding ATP are true expect one
creativ13 [48]

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a cell's energy currency. All of the following statements about ATP are true, except ATP is used to lower activation energy in enzymatic reactions.

  • A) ATP is used to lower the activation energy in enzymatic reactions.

<h3>How does ATP affect enzyme activity?</h3>

Enzymes allow chemical reactions to proceed with activation energy provided by the catabolism of ATP. When cells convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water, they use 2 molecules of ATP as activation energy and gain 36 to 38 molecules of ATP in return. Without enzymes, this would not be possible.
