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).
Which adaptation helps to prevent water loss in conifers?
cuticle coating on leaves and thick epidermal cell walls
What two structures keep a tree leaf from drying out?
waxy cuticle to prevent water loss Guard cells to close over stomata to prevent water loss Stomata on the lower surface of most leaves to prevent less water loss by transpiration ( is lower temp, higher humidity) Sometimes leaves will curl up, to again increase humidity against the leaf surface and try ot stop water loss via transpiration......these are really only leaves in quite sry environments.....also these leaves will tend to have a thicker cuticle and often store water in leaves or stem eg succulents or cacti depending on where you live.
What are cactus leaves adapted to?
The roots grow deeper to gather more water, the stems are woody and the leaves are waxy to prevent water loss by transpiration, cacti have also evolved other mechanisms to prevent water loss by transpiration.
Why do plants in dry areas have leaves with reduced surface area?
many plants developed a wazy surface cuticle to reduce water loss
Can a cactus leaf prevent water loss?
Cacti do not have leaves. The leaves have been replaced by spines.
What two structures in plants leaves help prevent the loss of water?

How do leaves and stems that have waxy coverings to prevent water loss help the plants stay alive?
The waxy covering helps to prevent excessive water loss, and prevents the plant drying out.
How do spines which are modified leaves of cacti become adaptive structures?
they prevent too much loss of water

How does a rubber tree prevent excessive water loss during dry and hot season?
they curl up their leaves and people give them water.

Why are some leaves waxy and needle like in shape?
It helps prevent water loss to coniferous trees in the winter in coniferous forests
What is a adaptation of jojoba plant?
The Jojoba plant adapts in the desert by its leaves. When it rains the leaves grow thicker because of the amount of water. But when there's drought the leaves become thinner to prevent water loss
Some plants have a hard waxy coating on their leaves that helps prevent water loss In which environment do these plants most likely grow?
Desert
