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!
Why do most water loss occur from the lower surface of the leaf?
the underside of the leaf loses water much faster
Can pass through stomata?
Yes most gases do.
Why there are more stomata in lower epidermis than in upper epidermis?
Because lower epidermis remains away from the light and in the absence of light the water loss through transpiration is minimized.
What is the protective substance that restricts water loss from a leaf?
There is a waxy layer called the cuticle that reduces evaporation from the leaf. It is produced by the epidermal cells of the leaf.

What plant leaf is adapted to prevent water loss?
Most of their stomata are on the underside of the leaf.
What do you call a process where the loss of water through the stomata of a leaf takes place?
Transpiration.
Why do most water loss occur from the lower surface of the leaf?
the underside of the leaf loses water much faster
Why is the stomata at the top for xerophytes?
Xerophytes definitly have their stoma on the BOTTOM of the leaf not the top, this is to minimise water loss through transpiration
What is the outer covering of a leaf?
cuticle is the thick layer outside the leaf to prevent loss of water.
The loss of water vapor from a plant through its stomata?
The process of water loss through the stomata of the leaves is called transpiration.The stomata of a leaf are usually found on the underside of most leaves and each consists of two curved cells. When the air is moist, these absorb moisture and become more curved, opening little holes through which air and water vapour can pass in and out. When the air is dry, the stomata close up, minimising the loss of water vapour from inside the leaf. Photosynthesis and respiration are also reduced when this occurs.
The loss of water from plants back into the atmosphere?
The "loss" of water vapor from stoma on the underside of the leaf is called transpiration. Transpiration also provides assistance in the uptake of water by plants, as water is lost through the leaves a low pressure is created within the leaf, assisting with the "suction action" of water being drawn up the vessels in the plant stem (simplified explanation
Can pass through stomata?
Yes most gases do.
Why there are more stomata in lower epidermis than in upper epidermis?
Because lower epidermis remains away from the light and in the absence of light the water loss through transpiration is minimized.
What is given out by the leaf?
Water is released by the leaf through transpiration.
Why might a desert leaf have a wax covering?
prevent water loss
