How water loss is prevented in desert plants? |
|
Answer» Several adaptations have evolved in desert PLANTS to MEET this need. ... WAX coatings on leaves prevent water loss through evaporation, which in the hot desert can cause loss of water from both the SURFACE and the INSIDE of leaves. Leaves are also smaller on desert plants, further reducing the possibility for water loss. |
