∙ 9y agoTrichomes are plant hairs composed of one or more cells that serve multiple purposes, including discouraging insect predators, reflecting sunlight, and insulating the plant body. A nettleâ??s trichomes, for instance, irritate the skin of a person who touches the leaf.

∙ 9y agoThe epidermal hairs on a plant are known as trichomes. They may have any number of functions including deterring herbivores, protection from frost, wind, and harsh sunshine, as well as taking advantage of fog drip.

How would you recognize the epidermis of a root versus the epidermis of a leaf?
The lower epidermal layer of leaf has many holes (stomata) in it and guard cells surrounding these holes. In the roots the epidermis has many root hairs growing out of it or regions of dead root hairs where over time the roots have grown longer and the old root hairs are no longer needed to capture water. In the upper epidermis of a leaf you would see palisade cells just beneath the epidermal layer and a waxy cuticle just above.
What is the name of leaf tissue where the stomata are found?
Epidermal tissue.
What are the hairs on the leaf of the water fern for?
The submerged leaf filaments are covered with brown hairs which function as roots for water and nutrients absorption. Sporocarps(i) are borne on submerged leaf filaments.
What is the transparent layer of cells on the bottom of the leaf that acts like a skin named?
Lower epidermal cells.
What kind of cells make the cuticle for the leaf?
polymers cutin and/or cutan. With wax. Usually produced by epidermal cells.

How do you examine leaf epidermal cell?
Leaf epidermal cells are examined by making peelings of epidermal cells from both sides. Normally these peelings are stained and examined under the compound microscope.
What are epidermal cell's palisade cell's and veins part of?
Leaf
What is the name of leaf tissue where the stomata are found?
Epidermal tissue.
What are the adaptations of the leaf epidermal cell?
i dont know please can you help me
What is an epidermal cell?
An epidermal cell is a cell that is part of the outer layer of an organism. For example, in humans, skin cells are epidermal. Leaves on plants have epidermal layers on the top and bottom of the leaf.
What are the hairs on the leaf of the water fern for?
The submerged leaf filaments are covered with brown hairs which function as roots for water and nutrients absorption. Sporocarps(i) are borne on submerged leaf filaments.
What is the protective substance that restricts water loss from a leaf?
There is a waxy layer called the cuticle that reduces evaporation from the leaf. It is produced by the epidermal cells of the leaf.
What is the transparent layer of cells on the bottom of the leaf that acts like a skin named?
Lower epidermal cells.
What is the shape of neem leaf and shape of the epidermal cell?
bricked
How have plants dealt with the problem of water loss?
Plants have tried to minimize the water loss by some adaptations like presence of sunken stomata only on the lower side of the leaf, cuticle and waxy depositions on the epidermal cells, leafless plants (certain cacti), presence of hairs, spines etc.
What kind of cells make the cuticle for the leaf?
polymers cutin and/or cutan. With wax. Usually produced by epidermal cells.
