Some plants have genetic modifications to tackle dry conditions and some plants in desert kind of atmosphere have specially adopted structures for effecting osmosis and diffusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Osmosis help plants to absorb water from soil. Diffusion is the process by which carbon dioxide diffuses to the leaves and then to the cells.
  • The genetic modifications in some of the plants can help in survive and adopt the osmosis in a very dry environment. They also develop defense methods to handle the water loss.
  • Some plants in a permanent dry environment like desert have special structures like reduced leaves, hairs, sunken stomata, and so on to conserve water.
