What else can I help you with?
What is the outer surface of a leaf called?
cuticle
What is the outer surface of the leaf that has a waxing coating called?
The outer surface of the leaf with a waxy coating is called the cuticle. The cuticle helps reduce water loss from the leaf and provides protection against pathogens and physical damage.
What is the outer cell layer of the leaf. It is transparent so sunlight can pass through?
The outer surface of the leaf has a thin transparent waxy covering called the cuticle
Where is the epidermis of a leaf located?
it is the outer most layer of the leave and so covers the leave surface except at the stomata
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'.
What are the key features of simple leaf anatomy?
The key features of simple leaf anatomy include a single blade, a main vein called the midrib, smaller veins branching out from the midrib, and a petiole that connects the leaf to the stem. The leaf is typically flat and thin, with a top surface called the adaxial surface and a bottom surface called the abaxial surface. The outer layer of the leaf is called the epidermis, which contains stomata for gas exchange and a waxy cuticle to prevent water loss.
What lipid makes up a leaf cuticle?
The lipid that makes up a leaf cuticle is primarily waxes, specifically cutin. Cutin forms a hydrophobic barrier on the outer surface of the leaf, helping to prevent water loss and protect the leaf from environmental stresses.
Where is the epidermis of the leaf located?
it is the outer most layer of the leave and so covers the leave surface except at the stomata
What is the protective substance that restricts water loss from a leaf?
The protective substance that restricts water loss from a leaf is called cuticle. It is a waxy layer on the outer surface of the leaf that helps to reduce water evaporation and protect the leaf from drying out.
What is the outer layer of a leaf called?
Epidermis
Why does water roll off the surface of a leaf?
because the leaf is non polar or Because the leaf is coated in lipid molecules
The outer layer of a leaf is?
epidermis
