Answer:

C. It prevents water loss

A. It carries out photosynthesis

Explanation:

Cactus is a xerophytic plant i.e. it can survive in an environment with no or little amount of water. To do this, cactus plant possess certain adaptational features that allow it to be successful in a xerophytic environment.

One of these features is its reduction of leaves to spines in order to reduce the loss of water via transpiration. In respect to this, the swollen stem of the cactus plant called CLADODE performs the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS in lieu of its absent leaves.

Also, the stem has a thick waxy coat as stated in this question in order to prevent the loss of water.

Which muscles do you control when exercising? cardiac muscles skeletal muscles involuntary muscles smooth muscles?
Mashutka [201]

While doing exercise, one can control skeletal muscles only.

The body has three kinds of muscles, that is, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. The skeletal muscles are linked with the bones of the skeleton, that is why these are under control and are known as voluntary muscles.

On the other hand, the smooth muscles like skeletal muscle can never be under control. These muscles helps in pushing substances, like blood or food through organs. The cardiac muscle is also an involuntary muscle, which is found only in the heart. These muscles helps in contraction of the heart and can never be controlled.
