Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conifers have needle-shaped leaves that contain a waxy coating, which helps to minimize water loss in dry environments. Cacti also have adaptations to minimize water loss, such as reduced leaves and a thick, water-storing stem, but they are not trees. Broadleaf evergreens and deciduous angiosperms have broad, flat leaves that are not as effective at minimizing water loss in dry environments. Mesquite is a deciduous angiosperm and does not have needle-shaped leaves.
