About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. But water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
There are three main aspects of photosynthesis
(i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
(ii)Photolysis of water
(iii) combination of water and CO2 to form carbohydrates.
The second and the third aspects of photosynthesis are controlled by the availability of water. Plants absorb water from the soil through their root hairs and it moves up to the leaves by capillary action.
Hence, if there is no rain (drought), the soil will lack water and so does the plant thereby hindering the uptake of water for the second and third stages of photosynthesis.
the Arizona poppy, lie dormant during drought only to germinate, grow, flower, and yield seeds a few weeks after the rains return.
