How do a group of plants called succulents adapt to their desert environment?
Cacti and succulents are plants that have adapted to the scarcity of rain water where they live, usually in a dry desert environment. They survive by having fibrous roots that spread out and dive deep into the ground, seeking out any underground water levels deep below. Any water is stored in stems or leaf cells that will expand to accommodate and hold as much water as possible. Cacti and succulents have a waxy coating that prevents water escaping from the plant.
What is the balance plants maintain that prevents them from losing too much water?
homeostasis
What is the role of xylem in a leaf?
In a plant, they transport water to the leaf through the Vascular Tissue.
What keeps a leaf from losing too much water from evaporation?
Transpiration is controlled by stomata.
Why is the waxy cuticle on a leaf?
The wax cuticle covers the upper epidermis. The main task of the cuticle is to activate cuticular transpiration in a plant. Sometimes a very shiny cuticle may be present in a plant to minimize transpiration of the plant. It basically reflects back sunlight. These are the two main functions.
Which part of leaves is designed to prevent too much water escaping?
The cuticle helps prevent too much water from escaping.

Is the cuticle in a leaf water proof?
yes, it is a water proof layer that stops the leaf loosing too much water.
What will happen to the leaf's texture if it is placed in a water for a couple of hours?
It depends on how much salt is in the water. If no salt, the leaf will swell. If it is the same amount in the water as in the leaf, then nothing will happen. If more is outside than inside the leaf, it will shrivel.
Why do most water loss occur from the lower surface of the leaf?
the underside of the leaf loses water much faster
What is the balance plants maintain that prevents them from losing too much water?
homeostasis
Why is it important for the leaf to lose water?
Because, it may not store that much water, it would overflow, and die!

What waxy outer layer keeps a plant from drying out?
The waxy later that keeps plants from drying out is called the waxy cuticle. Essentially this also acts to keep the plants waterproof. It keeps the plants from getting too much water, and also keeps the water from escaping too fast.
What is the role of xylem in a leaf?
In a plant, they transport water to the leaf through the Vascular Tissue.
