DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants living in deserts have adaptations such as hair on leaves and a thick cuticle.

Detailed explanation-2: -How are plants adapted to photosynthesis? Leaf increases its surface area to absorb more sunlight. The presence of a cuticle prevents the loss of water. The thin structure of leaves allows carbon dioxide to reach easily.

Detailed explanation-3: -All plants require light for photosynthesis, the process within a plant that converts light, oxygen and water into carbohydrates (energy). Plants require this energy in order to grow, bloom and produce seed. Without adequate light, carbohydrates cannot be manufactured, the energy reserves are depleted and plants die.
