To prevent water loss from free surface of leaves epidermal cells are provided with thick cuticle, radially elongated epidermal cells and presence of waxy deposition. Further water loss is prevented by sunken stomata and epidermal motor cells etc.

Hopfully that help.
Sorry if it didn't

What is the job of the waxy layer?
Assuming you mean in plant life, it prevents dehydration through evaporation
What plant has tiny leaves that reduce the amount of water lost through transpiration?
The guard cell prevents water loss in leaves.
What hormones prevents excessive water loss by promoting water reabsorption in the collecting duct?
antidiuretic hormone
What does the waxy cuticle help the plants?
The Waxy cuticle in a plant is situated above the upper epidermis. The waxy cuticle provides protection to the epidermis. But the main task of the waxy cuticle is to increase and decrease transpiration of water in a plant accordingly. The cuticle helps in cuticular transpiration of plants and sometimes you can find a shiny cuticle in a plant in order to reflect back the sunlight and prevent transpiration. Having a shiny cuticle is one of the adaptations of a plant to reduce transpiration. These are the 2 main functions of a cuticle.
What could be a hypothesis for the function of the thick waxy coating on a pine needle?
Prevents water loss
What prevents water loss from woody parts of a plant?
Bark, cuticle prevents water loss from softer/ herbaceous parts of the plant
What happens the amount of water in a plant drops below a certain point?
The stomata closes, the prevents loss of water by transpiration
What is the part of the plant that slows the loss of water?
Okay so the cuticle slows a plant's loss of water..... A cuticle is a waxy, protective layer that slows the loss of water. The cuticle is a structure that helps plants survive on land
How do plants prevent themselves from drying out?
The cuticle, a waxy layer of the plant, prevents water loss.
What skin protein prevents water loss?
Keratin
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.
What is the job of the waxy layer?
Assuming you mean in plant life, it prevents dehydration through evaporation
Why would a plant cuticle be an adaptations on land?
The cuticle is thick and waxy. Thanks to the Cuticle, it helps reduce the rate of water loss, which also benefits in dry environments, and hot seasons such as in deserts. Water is very little, so plants can survive longer witout water.
Why does the cuticle prevent water loss?
Cuticle being impervious to water prevents water loss
What organ system blocks the entrance of pathogens into the body and prevents the loss of water from the body?
The integumentary system (skin) blocks the entrance of pathogens and prevents the loss of water.
What in the body prevents water loss?
Drink a lot of water
What is a function of lamellar granules?
This granules...prevents water loss and energy loss. It is a water repellent.
