What is the epidermis in a leaf?
The surface of the leaf that you see is the "epidermis".
Why removing the lower epidermis layer of the leaf and not the upper epidermis?
Removing the lower epidermis layer allows for easier observation of stomata and overall leaf structure. Stomata are mostly located on the lower epidermis, which regulates gas exchange for photosynthesis. Additionally, removing the upper epidermis may damage the leaf's cuticle, which can affect its ability to retain water.
What best describes a leaf's epidermis?
The epidermis covers the lower and upper sides of the leaf.
How many layer thick is the epidermis?
Answer: the epidermis of a leaf includes: upper epidermis and lower epidermis but if you are referring to the epidermis of an onion: it is only one layer
Where in a leaf would you expect to find palisade cells?
Palisade cells are typically found in the upper layer of a leaf called the palisade mesophyll. They are located directly beneath the upper epidermis and are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis due to their high concentration of chloroplasts.
Where is the epidermis of the leaf located?
it is the outer most layer of the leave and so covers the leave surface except at the stomata
What is the outermost covering of a leaf?
epidermis is the outermost covering of the leaf
The outer layer of a leaf is?
epidermis
What will happen if you only apply vaseline on the upper epidermis of a leaf?
The leaf would curve to the upper epidermis exposing the lower epidemis
What is the openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into the leaves?
The openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into the leaves are called stomata. Stomata are small pores primarily located on the underside of the leaf that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen.
Which cells in leaves are covered with wax?
The epidermis cell is located on the outer layers of a leaf. It is protected by a wax-like layer.
What is the function of the plant upper epidermis?
The upper epidermis is responsible for preventing water loss by evaporation. It does this by having a waxy cuticle on the top of the leaf. The lower epidermis has stomata, which allow gases to enter and leave the leaf as a result of photosynthesis and respiration.
