What is the name of the outside layer of a leaf that protects inner layers of leaf?
Definetly cellulose
Is the waxy layer of a leaf thicker than the epidermis?
Typically, the waxy layer of a leaf, known as the cuticle, is thinner than the epidermis. The cuticle is a thin, waterproof layer that helps prevent water loss from the leaf, while the epidermis is a thicker layer of cells that provides protection and support to the leaf.
What are the three tissue layers in a leaf?
The three tissue layers in a leaf are the epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular tissue. The epidermis is the outermost layer responsible for protection, the mesophyll is the middle layer where most photosynthesis occurs, and the vascular tissue includes the xylem and phloem responsible for transport of water and nutrients.
What is the outer layer of the leaf called and what are its functions?
The outer layer of a leaf is called the epidermis (from a Greek word meaning "over-skin"). Its function is to protect the insides of the leaf, which carry out the chemical reaction known as photosynthesis.
Which layer is at the top or the bottom of the leaf?
The top layer of the leaf is called the epidermis, which contains the outermost protective layer of cells. The bottom layer is typically the lower epidermis, which contains stomata for gas exchange and specialized cells for support.
Which layer of the leaf most structures can be found?
The mesophyll layer is the layer with the most working structures in it, including chloroplasts. The mesophyll layer is the middle layer of a leaf between the viens and the epidermis.
What is the biology term for the middle layer of the leaf?
There are 4 layers to the typical leaf; the upper epidermis, palisade layer, spongy layer and lower epidermis. ref http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/Biology/Pages/L/Leaf.html
Where in the leaf does almost all photosynthesis occur?
Almost all photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, specifically in the chlorophyll molecules located in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. The mesophyll cells are located in the middle layer of the leaf, where they are well exposed to light.
What is the part of the plant in which food is made?
I think that food is made in the palisade layer of the leaf. (The middle)
Where does most of the photosynthesis in the leaf takes place?
Most photosynthesis in a leaf occurs in the mesophyll cells, found in the middle layer of the leaf. Specifically, the chloroplasts within the mesophyll cells are responsible for conducting photosynthesis by capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
What is the outer layer of a leaf called?
Epidermis
What make a leaf waterproof?
The upper skin of the leaf has a layer of wax on it, called a cuticle. This makes the leaf waterproof. The upper skin of the leaf has a layer of wax on it, called a cuticle. This makes the leaf waterproof.
What layer in the leaf can have hair spines and wax?
what layer is the one with the hair and wax
What is the skin on a leaf called?
The outer layer of a leaf's skin is called the waxy cuticle, or just cuticle. You could also include the next layer, the epidermis layer. Mostly, though, the leaf's skin is called the 'Leaf surface'.
When you look at a leaf you can see the leaf's protective layer or its?
epidemis
What is the waxy layer that surrounds the leaf?
that is the thick excel layer
Which part of the leaf protects the mesophyll layer?
cuticle layer
