Which part of the leaf enables transpiration to take place?
stomata facilitate transpiration and thick cuticle does not allow it to happen
What does the thick waxy cuticle do on the epidermis of plants?
It restricts cuticular transpiration
Who wrote as thick as leaves in Vallambrosa?
Milton
What is the cell structure prevent water lost in leaves?
U r supposed to help me :) Short Answer = Stromata. Stroma are, I think, those structures that are in the [plant cell's] chloroplasts that are 'Thick with' the Thylakoid membranes. HFY ( Here For You ).
What does dense foliage mean?
thick leaves covering something,obscuring your view

How is transpiration related to cuticle?
Thick cuticle limits transpiration.
How does thick leathery leaves help poison ivy?
All plants develope ways of surviving the extremes. The thick, waxy leaves of poison ivy slow transpiration or loss of water during dry,hot times. Hope you don't get it.

It restricts cuticular transpiration
Why would cacti benefit from thick cuticles?
Reduce loss of water through transpiration / evaporation.
Is aloevera a hydrophyte mesophyte xerophyte?
Yes, it has a thick waxy cuticle. This reduces water loss because the outer waxy coating on leaves slows transpiration; many coastal plants have a thick glossy coating on the leaves, reducing water loss, because this is one of the main area's water is lost through. because the aloe Vera has this feature it is adapted to a an environment with little water; which means it is classed as an xerophyte.
Translation of thick grow rush leaves?
Translation of "thick grow rush leaves": It is not clear what the exact phrase is intended to mean. Could you please provide more context or clarify your question?
How do leaves grow on a eucalyptus tree?
The leaves of eucalyptus trees, or gum trees, grow hanging down, rather than horizontally. This is a special adaptation which minimises evaporation and hence water loss (transpiration), as the leaves are not as exposed to sunlight. The leaves usually have equal numbers of stoma on each side, unlike trees which hold their leaves horizontally - they tend to have all or most of their stoma on the lower side. The leaves also tend to have a thick, waxy coating which also minimises water loss.

What are plant adaptation that permit them to survive in a place with limited water supply?
Xerophytes are desert plants which grow in dry and hot places. They have long and deep roots for absorption of water. The stem of xerophytes contains water storage tissues. Stems of xerophytes possess caudex (swollen part of stem that stores water). The leaves are modified into spines to minimize loss of water by transpiration. Stem and leaves usually contain tomentose (plant hairs) to reduce transpiration. Plant hairs form coating called tomentum on the surface of leaves and stem. The leaves of xerophytes are covered by thick, waxy cuticle. Stomata are reduced in number and sucken below the epidermis. Stomata of xerophytes open at night.
