What part of water spinach is eaten?
spinach is a plant, but we eat the leaves mainly
Do plants release more water through their leaves or stem?
Plants release more water through their leaves due to a process called transpiration, where water evaporates from leaf surfaces. Stems also play a role in water transport, but the majority of water loss occurs through the leaves.
Components of water lily leaves?
Water lily leaves consist of the blade or lamina, which is the flat surface of the leaf that floats on water, and the petiole, which is the stalk that attaches the leaf to the plant. Water lily leaves also have a network of veins that help transport water, nutrients, and gases throughout the leaf. Additionally, some water lily species have specialized structures called stomata on the leaf surface to regulate gas exchange.
Can a cactus leaf prevent water loss?
Cacti do not have leaves. The leaves have been replaced by spines.
Can tea leaves dissolve in water?
No, you can only extract the water soluble parts and some of the aromatic oils in the leaves, using water. The bulk of a tea leaf (or any other leaf) is completely insoluble in water. If leaves were water soluble trees would loose all their leaves in any significant rainstorm (or if you sprayed them with water from your garden hose).
Where does most transpiration occur in a leaf?
On the bottom of the leaves. This is because Stomata, the place in the leaf were gaseous exchanges of water and carbon dioxide occur, are more common in this part of the leaf compared to the top of the leaf. This is an adaption, because if plants had all of their stomata on the top of their leaves, excessive loss of water will be lost to the environment and cause dehydration of the plant and even potential death.
What is the possessive form of leaf?
The possessive form of "leaf" is "leaf's." In English grammar, to show possession or ownership of something singular, we typically add an apostrophe and an "s" after the noun. So, if you are referring to something that belongs to a leaf, you would write "the leaf's color" or "the leaf's shape."
Is a maple leaf vascular?
A maple leaf is vascular. It uses the veins on the leaves to transport water and nutrients to where it is needed.
What happens to leaf pigments when you water them with colored water?
When you water leaves with colored water, the pigments in the leaves may absorb some of the color from the water, leading to a change in leaf color. This process is similar to how plants naturally absorb nutrients and water from the soil through their roots.
Why Carbon-dioxide is absorbed more by lower leaf surface?
The underside of leaves is where the 'stomata' are to be found in most (not all) plants and it is through these stomata that the gas exchange occurs. The upper surfaces of leaves are usually tough and shiny to protect the leaf and shed water. If the stomata were on the upper surface and the leaf was wet, the water would block them and impede gas exchange.
Where are stomata generally most abundant in the majority of leaves?
On a dorsi-ventral leaf most of the stomata are found on the lower side of the leaf, that remains away from sunlight. On an iso-bilateral leaf stomata are present on both the sides, upper as well as lower.
What plant leaf is adapted to prevent water loss?
Succulent plants such as cacti have adaptations such as thick, fleshy leaves with a waxy coating to prevent water loss. These adaptations help the plant store water and survive in arid environments with limited water availability.
