Stomata and the thickness of the leaf

∙ 11y agoThe exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between plant organisms and the atmosphere occurs by two processes: cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Cellular respiration is when oxygen and glucose get "breathed in" by the cell, and in turn the cell "breathes out" carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The opposite happens for photosynthesis.
As an answer to your question, cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria, and photosynthesis happens in the chloroplasts. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles ("organs of cells") in plant cells.

What is the first structure to prevent water loss in the leaf?
xylem
What plant leaf is adapted to prevent water loss?
Most of their stomata are on the underside of the leaf.
What layer slows down water loss from a leaf?
The outermost layer both the upper and lower surfaces is the clear, waxy cuticle. This layer protects the inner tissues and slows down water loss from the leaf.
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).
What do you call a process where the loss of water through the stomata of a leaf takes place?
Transpiration.
What is the first structure to prevent water loss in the leaf?
xylem
What plant leaf is adapted to prevent water loss?
Most of their stomata are on the underside of the leaf.
Why do most water loss occur from the lower surface of the leaf?
the underside of the leaf loses water much faster
Loss of water through leaf?
transpiration
What is the cuticle in a leaf?
The cuticle is a waxy covering on the leaves of plants. It is produced by the upper epidermis, which is like the skin of a leaf. Its function is to protect the leaf from water loss through evaporation. Hope this helps!
What is the outer covering of a leaf?
cuticle is the thick layer outside the leaf to prevent loss of water.
How does climate affect leaf structure?
the leaves begin to adapt by having waxy layers and hairs to avoid the maximum loss of water i deserts. and also by formation of more specialised stomata
What is the waxy layer that prevents water loss from leaf tissue?
dvgd
Why might a desert leaf have a wax covering?
prevent water loss
Does the sponge layer of a leaf control the amount of water loss?
yes
Drawing of the label the external part of a leaf?
at the external layer is the lamina which is the flat leaf. there is also the network of veins which provides the minerals.furthermore is the petiole which holds the leaf the the main branch.lastly is the cuticle which prevents excessive loss of water of the plant. this is the internal structure of the leaf courtesy from www.wikipedia.org HI
What structure prevents water loss in a plant?
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.
