B) the plant uses less energy to grow these short leaves and conserves energy

C) prevents water from evaporating off leaves

D)all of the above

C) prevents water from evaporating off leaves

Explanation:

Succulents and cacti are a group of plants known as XEROPHYTES. These are plants that grow and survive in areas or conditions where there is lack of water e.g deserts.

However, these plants need to adapt to the low or no water condition and one of the ways they do this is by possessing short, thick leaves with a waxy coat. This enables them to preserve water that would have been lost via transpiration from the leaves.

(c) prevent water from evaporating off leaves

yes, because even though a theory has a  lot of evidence to support it, it is not always true

you know that this symptom is misleading and quite often is related to: heart attack

a heart attack is a condition that occurs when the blood flow that transports oxygen to the heart muscle is damaged or cut off completely. the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood flow can be blocked by the accumulation of plaque. also, when the plaque within the heart artery breaks, it creates blood clot that can also hinder the blood flow. men that are over 45years of age and women that are over 55years of age are at risk of having a heart attack. the symptoms of a heart attack include chest discomfort, chest pain, coughing, and shortness of breath.
