Examine the diagram of a plant commonly found in the deserts of North America. Which statement explains how the plant has adapted for survival in an environment with limited precipitation?
The plant has spines on its “leaves” where birds can perch and prevent other animals from eating the plant.
The plant has no roots which enables it to absorb water quickly from the ground when it rains for transport to the “leaves.”
The plant is able to hold large amounts of water in its “leaves,” so it can survive periods of drought.
The plant allows ants to live in its “leaves,” and the ants protect and provide nutrients for the plant.
