Why does marram grass have rolled leaves?
To reduce transpiration
How can transpiration be prevented?
Transpiration in plants is regulated by sunshine, temperature and humidity. If you increase humidity in the air, the rate of transpiration will go down. Another approach to reduce transpiration in crop plants is application of certain chemicals like cycosil to close the stomata during sunshine.
What are cacti thorns useful for?
Cactus spines prevent moisture loss from plants. Spines also defend the plants from grazing animals. The spines are just modified leaves.
What is an antitranspirant?
An antitranspirant is a substance applied to plant leaves in order to reduce transpiration.
How can trichomes affect the rate of transpiration of the leaves of some plants?
In windy areas trichomes reduce evaporation and keep the leaf moist. They also reflect solar radiation and heat.
What plant has tiny leaves that reduce the amount of water lost through transpiration?
The guard cell prevents water loss in leaves.

What is the function of leaves on a cactus?
defence. the cacti leaves are the thorns...
Why leaves are absent in cactus?
To protect it from predators in the desert.(: and to reduce the rate of transpiration. In many cases the thorn are formed by the modification of shoot , Thus eliminating the leaves hence the free surface to minimize the transpiration.)
What plant make wax?
Plants use waxy substances on their leaves to help reduce transpiration, the evaporation of water from plants. The wax helps to keep water in the plant as to not dehydrate the plant.
Why is stomata found on the underside of the leaves?
to reduce the high rate of transpiration and it reduce the chances of blockage of stomata by small tiny particles of soil which are present in atmosphere.
What process in which plants return water vapor to the atmosphere?
The Nitrogen cycle. Transpiration is when a plant sweats. This process happens after photosynthesis. Plants utilize moisture from the air and water from rain. Then sweat it out exactly like a human does when they get hot. Thus returning the water used back into the air after evaporation.
Botanists believe that gymnosperm leaves have evolved sunken stomata below the leaf surface to reduce water loss from?
Transpiration.
