What name is given to loss water from the leaves?
Transpiration
A thich waxy coating on the leaves of some desert plants most likely permits the plants to what?
The waxy coat helps to reduce water loss from the leaves.
Why do plants in dry areas have leaves with reduced surface area?
many plants developed a wazy surface cuticle to reduce water loss
What two structures in plants leaves help prevent the loss of water?
The two structures in plant leaves that prevent the loss of water are stomata (located in the bottom part of the leaf) and the epidermis (covers the top and bottom of the leaf).
How does the loss of leaves help plants survive winter or long periods without rain?
the loss of leaves help a plant survive winter becuase the plant doesnt have to lose and give water much more

Why don't desert plants have leaves?
Leaves that have a small surface area lose less water.
What are the two ways by which plants lessen loss of water from leaves?
Some plants will curl their leaves in an effort to mitigate water loss from evaporation. Cuticles, particularly those found in evergreens, act as barriers to evaporation while deflecting sunlight away from the leaves.

What would be transpiration in the water cycle?
"transpiration" is the loss/evaporation of water into the air by plants. Plants suck up water from the ground by their rots and lose it though their leaves - the loss through the leaves is called transpiration. In areas of dense forrest this has a significant contribution to atmospheric moisture.

What effect does water scarcity have on plants?
Water scarcity in plants leads to water stress conditions. The leaves of the plant start minimizing water loss by transpiration.
