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
Why do plants in dry areas have leaves with reduced surface area?
many plants developed a wazy surface cuticle to reduce water loss
what is the balance plants maintain to prevent them from losing too much water?
Plants use to keep balance in the rate of transpiration by leaves and absorption of water by the roots. If transpiration increases and absorption does not increase, the young leaves start wilting so that the rate of transpiration can be mi minimized.
What do plants need to successfully on land?
They must have structures that allow them to obtain water or other nutrients from their surroundings, retain water, transport materials in their bodies, support their bodies, reproduce and leaves for photosynthesis
What are special feature of desert plants?
they need to have: a) less or no leaves to reduce transpiration rate b) having deep roots to enable them to get water deep within the soil. c) they store water in stems. ENJOY <3
How do spines which are modified leaves of cacti become adaptive structures?

What are the general structures of vascular plants?
The two general structures of vascular plants are the stem system and the root system. The root of the plant absorbs water and nutrients while the stem produces reproductive system and leaves.
What is the difference between simple plants and compound plants?
Plants have roots stem and leaves while simple plants doesn't they have root like structures and they get water directly from the environment
Why don't desert plants have leaves?
Leaves that have a small surface area lose less water.
What are plants that have tubes like structures for water and nutrients to travel up and down from roots to leaves?

Why structures is important for plants?
roots stems and leaves are the important structures in th plant 1.The roots absorb the water aand anchor the plants to the soil. 2.The stems conduct the water and food by xylem and phloem. 3.the leaves are the major sites of photosynthesis,transpiration which is due to stomata and mesophyll cells.

What would be a good sentence for the word vascular plant?
vascular plants have tube-like structures that carry the water from the roots to the leaves.
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.
