Cutin, stomata and guard cells are used for water loss prevention. These are not needed because Elodea is a water plant.
Water loss in a leaf is controlled by the stomata, which are tiny openings on the leaf surface. When the stomata are open, water vapor can escape through transpiration. The guard cells surrounding the stomata regulate the opening and closing of the stomata to help prevent excessive water loss.
Pine typically has thicker cutin compared to lilac. Cutin is found in the outer layer of plant cells and acts as a protective barrier. Pine trees often have thicker cuticles to help withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as cold temperatures and drought.
Cutin in leaves forms a waxy layer called the cuticle that helps reduce water loss by preventing excessive transpiration. It also provides protection against pathogens, UV radiation, and physical damage. Overall, cutin plays a crucial role in the adaptation of plants to their environment.
Yes most gases do.
"As you recall, epidermis (1) is the outermost cell layer of leaves, roots and stems. Unlike the root epidermis, stem and leaf epidermis contain stomata (more on stomata when we discuss photosynthesis). In many plants, leaf and stem epidermis is covered by a wax-like layer of cutin, which protects the plants from excessive water loss, and from pathogen attack."
Guard cells, which open and close stomata. Also, cutin.

Cutin is secreted by the epidermal cells of plants to form a waxy layer on the outer surface of leaves and stems, known as cuticle. This waxy layer helps to prevent water loss, protect against pathogens, and reduce damage from UV radiation.

Yes, cutin is a lipid. Cutin refers to one of two waxy polymers that are the main components of the plant cuticle which covers the aerial surface of the plants. Wax is usually considered as a lipid.
The cuticle of a leaf is primarily made up of cells called epidermal cells. These cells are located on the outer layer of the leaf and secrete a waxy substance that forms the protective cuticle layer.
