Task 10
Fill the blank with

A
cactus (plural: cacti, cactuses,
or cactus) (is/are)…. a
member of the plant family Cactaceae,
within the order Caryophyllales. Cacti (is/are)….
native to the Americas,
ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts
of western Canada
in the north. There is only one exception, Rhipsalis baccifera, which is
also found in Africa and Sri Lanka.
Most
cacti (live/lives)…. in habitats
which are subject to at least some degree of drought. Many live in extremely
dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert,
one of the driest places on earth. Cacti (show/shows)….
many adaptations to conserve water. Most species of cacti have lost true
leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. As well as
defending against herbivores, spines (reduce/reduces)….
air flow close to the cactus and provide some shade, both of which help to
prevent water loss.
In
the absence of leaves, enlarged stems (carry/carries)….
out photosynthesis. Unlike many other succulents, the stem (is/are)…. the only part of most cacti where this vital process (take/takes)…. place. Cactus stems also
(store/stores)…. water, often being
ribbed or fluted which allows them to expand and contract easily. Cacti come in
a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest free-standing cactus is Pachycereus
pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m (63 ft), and
the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputiana, only about 1 cm
(0.4 in) in diameter at maturity. Many cacti (have/has)…. a short growing season and a long dormancy and are
able to react quickly to any rainfall, helped by an extensive but relatively
shallow root system. A fully grown saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) is said
to be able to absorb as much as 200 US gallons (760 l;
170 imp gal) of water during a rainstorm.
