    • A Peach Tree

    Correct Answer
    A. A Teddy-bear cholla cactus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a Teddy-bear cholla cactus because desert environments are characterized by extreme heat and lack of water. The Teddy-bear cholla cactus is well adapted to these conditions, with its ability to store water and its spiky exterior that helps reduce water loss through transpiration. Roses, ferns, lilies, and peach trees are not typically found in desert environments as they require more water and are not adapted to the harsh desert conditions.

    Where does a cactus store water at?

    • In Its Leafs

    • In the Roots

    • In Its Stem

    • In Its Flowers

    Correct Answer
    A. In Its Stem
    Explanation
    Cacti store water in their stems. This adaptation allows them to survive in arid environments where water is scarce. The stems of cacti are thick and fleshy, enabling them to store large amounts of water. This stored water sustains the cactus during periods of drought when water is not readily available. By storing water in their stems, cacti have evolved a unique mechanism to survive in harsh desert conditions.
