How would having cuticle scraped off the surface of plants leaves affect?
It would increase transpiration and wilting .
How is evaporation linked to transpiration?
Evaporation of water through stomata or cuticle of leaf epidermis is called transpiration.
What does the thick waxy cuticle do on the epidermis of plants?
It restricts cuticular transpiration
Why is the upper epodermis covered by a waxy cuticle?
Since wax is impervious to water, the cuticle made of wax checks cuticular transpiration
Why is the waxy cuticle on a leaf?
The wax cuticle covers the upper epidermis. The main task of the cuticle is to activate cuticular transpiration in a plant. Sometimes a very shiny cuticle may be present in a plant to minimize transpiration of the plant. It basically reflects back sunlight. These are the two main functions.
How is transpiration related to cuticle?
Thick cuticle limits transpiration.

What are the differents between cuticular transpiration and stomatal transpiration?
cuticular transpiration occurs through the cuticle while the stomatal transpiration occurs through the stomata.

What does the thick waxy cuticle do on the epidermis of plants?
It restricts cuticular transpiration
What does the waxy cuticle help the plants?
The Waxy cuticle in a plant is situated above the upper epidermis. The waxy cuticle provides protection to the epidermis. But the main task of the waxy cuticle is to increase and decrease transpiration of water in a plant accordingly. The cuticle helps in cuticular transpiration of plants and sometimes you can find a shiny cuticle in a plant in order to reflect back the sunlight and prevent transpiration. Having a shiny cuticle is one of the adaptations of a plant to reduce transpiration. These are the 2 main functions of a cuticle.

Which part of the leaf enables transpiration to take place?
stomata facilitate transpiration and thick cuticle does not allow it to happen
Why hydrophytes do not have cuticle on stem or leave?
hydrophytes do not have cuticle on stem or leave because they do not have any problem in obtaining water and cuticle is a water covering layer. Hence why they excrete out extra water by transpiration.
How does high humidity affect transpiration?
High humidity reduces the rate of transpiration.
How does the pH value of products affect the hair structure?
acid closes the cuticle and akaline opens the cuticle
