According to biologists, the protective outer layer of a leaf is called the cuticle. Normally, the cuticle contains a waxy substance which protects the leaf from moisture loss.
Waterproof
The top waxy layer of a leaf is called the cuticle. It helps to reduce water loss from the leaf and protect the leaf from environmental stresses such as UV radiation and pathogens.
It is made in the cell organelle called the Chloroplasts on the top side of the leaf
The answer is no, because, on the top of a leaf there is the, cuticle, then the upper epidermis cells underneath, which you can see these, because you can see a sort of jigzaw pattern on the top of the leaf. but on the bottom of a leaf there are tiny, guard cells, a guard cell is a cell that lets in carbon dioxide to the leaf, but only on the bottom of the leaf. if you have ever wondered why a leaf is greener on the top, than the bottom of a leaf, is because, sunlight can easily reach the top of a leaf, this is called photosynthesis, but on the bottom of a leaf, it only gets sunlight from refections from the ground, because the bottom of the leaf does not have any visible contact with the sun.
The bottom of a leaf is called the abaxial surface. It is typically lighter in color than the top of the leaf and may have different characteristics, such as more stomata for gas exchange.
The top part of a stalk would be the terminal bud or leaf.
A decoration on top of a gable or spire is called a finial. It is usually in the shape of a flower or a leaf.
Yes, the top part of the leaf is usually covered by a waxy surface called the cuticle. This waxy cuticle helps prevent water loss and protects the leaf from physical damage and pathogens.
The transparent layer of cells on the top of a leaf that acts like a skin is called the cuticle. It helps to protect the leaf from water loss and pathogens, while also allowing light to pass through for photosynthesis.
a small leaf is called microphyll, that's the scientific term
There is more chlorophyll in the top of the leaf than there is on the bottom
A leaf's edge is called its margin.
