What is the adaptations of the Pancake prickly pear cactus?
The Pancake prickly pear cactus (Opuntia compressa) has several adaptations that help it thrive in its environment. Its flat, paddle-like pads maximize surface area for photosynthesis while minimizing water loss, a crucial trait for survival in arid conditions. Additionally, its spines provide protection from herbivores and reduce water evaporation. The cactus also has a shallow root system that allows it to efficiently absorb moisture from light rains.
Why does a root of a cactus help it to survive in its normal habitat?
Cactus roots are shallow and spread out widely to help the plant quickly absorb water in arid environments. The roots also have specialized adaptations, such as the ability to store water and prevent loss through evaporation, which help cacti survive in their dry habitats.
What happen when the cactus didn't have thorns?
If a cactus didn't have thorns, it would lose its primary defense mechanism against herbivores. Without thorns, the cactus would be more vulnerable to being eaten by animals, which could lead to decreased survival and reproduction rates. Additionally, without thorns, the cactus might face increased competition from other plants, as it would lack the protective adaptations that help it thrive in harsh environments. Ultimately, this change could disrupt the local ecosystem and the balance of species that depend on the cactus for food and shelter.
