Which of the following is not an adaptation to drought conditions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased stomata number would not be an adaptation to drought conditions as it would increase water loss through transpiration, making it harder to conserve water in a drought environment. The other options listed are all adaptations to drought conditions: water-storing tissues allow plants to store water for later use, leaf loss reduces surface area for water loss, sunken stomata decrease water loss through transpiration by trapping water vapor near the leaf surface, and CAM photosynthesis is a water-conserving process used by some plants in arid environments.
