A is correct. We know that water buildup is essential for plants (and all other organisms) that live in the desert due to its lack of moisture. So, the question is simply asking which adaptation will help a plant retain the most water in the desert. Here’s what makes each wrong or right:
A. Stem that stores water - Having stems that can retain a lot of moisture and water is absolutely necessary for plants that live in hot and dry biomes. The brief periods of rain in the desert make it easier for plants with water-storing stems to absorb the water and remain hydrated throughout their time. This is referred to as succulence, and most (if not all) plants in the desert are succulents. This is the correct answer!
B. Shallow root system - Many plants that live in deserts tend to have shallow root systems that allow them to quickly absorb and moisture in the environment — and because water never goes too far in the desert, they soak most of it up. Although this is helpful, it is better for plants that live in places with a lot of soil.
C. Large surface area - Having a large surface area is more useful for photosynthesis and may result in dehydration. This is wrong!
D. Flat broad leaves - Again, this adaptation is more favorable for plants that do not live in the desert because, as we know, photosynthesis requires water.

i will probably give children more of a voice. children have a lot to say when it comes to things, but people over look it because they are "young" or because they dont "understand things." not only is this not fair, but it is wrong. all people should have a voice. no matter how old or how young!
Answer:
Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. Quatities of material are expelled from the cell without ever passing through the membrane as individual molecules. By using the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis, some specialized types of cells move large amounts of bulk material into and out of themselves.
