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.

The waxy protective covering of a land plant is called a what?
The waxy protective covering of a land plant is called a cuticle.
A paleontologist find a plant fossil that shows evidence of cuticle what can the paleontologist conclude?
It was a land plant.
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
What are the adaptations of plants living on land?
The Cuticle slows down the water loss from leaves and other plant parts. Cellulose helps support land plants. Vascular tissue allows them to transport water and nutrients through the plant. Seeds instead of spores allow them to sustain longer. Stomata lets them release gases from their leaves.
How are cuticle stomata and vascular tissues an advantage to land plants?
Cuticle Stomata is an advantage to land plants because it keeps water inside the plant from evaporating. Vascular tissues are an advantage because they transport water, food, and other materials throught the plant. They also preserve water.
What is the waxy layer land plants have that allows them to survive on land?
The waxy coating on leaves, known as the cuticle, prevents the leaves from drying out too quickly.
What are the adaptations for a bladderwort?
Bladderwort is an insectivorous plant adapted to catch insects for its partial requirement of nitrogen.
Why would plants cuticle be an adaptation on land?
it prevents the evaporation of water from the plant
Which evolutionary adaptation to bryophtes to colonize land?
Waxy Cuticle
What is the function of the cuticle in bryophytes?
Cuticle purpose are: preventing the moss to desiccating their immature sporophytes because its more expose to sunlight in land
Why is cuticle a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae?
The cuticle is a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae because: in order for plants to live on land, they need a cuticle to prevent water loss during dry climates. Algae live in the water, therefore they don't need a cuticle to survive. They use their adaptations to absorb the water and nutrients around their watery environments. Source: My straight "A" brain
What type of plant would NOT live on land?
An aquatic plant
