What is the function of the roots and leaves?
Roots serve as the structure that water and minerals enter into a plant...specifically by the root hairs. Water can only move one way in a root, and this one way movement creates something called root pressure. Roots also serve to anchor the plant in soil. Leaves have the job of capturing sunlight so that photosynthesis (the synthesis of glucose, from carbon dioxide and water) can occurs there.
What structure prevents water from escaping a plant's leaves?
Cuticle
Are root hairs found mostly on the stomata?
No root hairs are not found on the stomata.
Why the root epidermis is not coated with a waxy cuticle?
plant roots posses root hairs which anchor the plant in soil and their major function is to absorb water and nutrients from soil. if there will be waxy cuticle on there epidermis it will be hard for roots to absorb nutrients and water from soil hence plant without water and nutrients will die.
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 is tissue that carries water and nutrients from the root hairs to the leaves?
xylem

How do these structures participate in plant transpiration?
It takes place in the leaves. The plant loses vapor through its leaves.

Which side is smoother the top or the bottom in a leaf?
Generally speaking, the top surface as it is covered with a waxy cuticle, the bottom of leaves normally have vein protusions, hairs and stomatic openings
Which section of the root has root hairs?
the root hairs are located in the region above the root tip.

How many root hairs are there on each root?
one thousand root hairs are in a tree
