Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Soft, broad leaves might be good at photosynthesis, but they lose a lot of water due to evaporation.

Over time, cacti modified them into clusters of sharp spines or hairs.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The cactus performs this through stems as the leaves are modified into spines. Photosynthesis is a physiochemical or photo-biochemical process(anabolic and endergonic ) in which organic compounds are synthesized into inorganic raw materials in the presence of light and pigment.
