Many _ posses small, thick leaves to limit water loss by reducing surface area proportional to the volume:
Correct answer: B. Xerophytes
- A. Hydrophytes
- B. Xerophytes
- C. Mesophytes
- D. Halophytes
Explanation
Xerophytes live in dry environments. They posess thick waxy cuticle over their epidermis to reduce water loss from internal tissues. They have less number of stomata to reduce the rate of transpiration. They store water with the help of special parenchyma cells, that's why they are called "succulent organs".

About Circulation
The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
