What structure prevents water from escaping a plant's leaves?
Cuticle
What part of a plant controls its evaporation?
The stomata, located on the surface of leaves, control the evaporation of water from the plant through a process called transpiration. Stomata open and close to regulate the release of water vapor into the atmosphere.
What is the transpiration process?
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the surface of the plant__mainly from leaves. Water particles evaporate from the surface of the leaves, and more water particles move up within the plant to take their place. This process continues down though the plant with particles continually moving up from the roots.The loss of water in plants to the air though the stomata of plant leaves.
Why do cactus do not have leaves?

Type of plant which grows in water but with leaves and flowers appearing above the surface?

Why do water milfoil leaves only present near surface of water?
Varieties of water milfoil that have leaves only present near the surface of the water do so as an adaptation to available light. Only the top of a plant in murky water gets light, so it saves energy for the plant to not have too many leaves.
Does water enter the plant by the surface of the leaves or the roots?
Water primarily enters the plant through the roots, where it is absorbed from the soil. The root hairs increase the surface area for absorption, allowing the plant to take in necessary water and nutrients. While some water can be absorbed through the leaves via foliar uptake, the roots remain the main pathway for water entry.
Where does the cuticle of a plant come from?
The cuticle of a plant is derived from the epidermal cells of the plant. It is a waxy layer that covers the outer surface of leaves and stems to protect the plant from water loss and other environmental stresses.
A plant with stomata present only on the top of its leaves would be best suited to which environment?
Water Surface
Is the cabomba plant a fully submerged plant?
