What is the purpose of thorns on aloe vera leaves?
Aloe vera actually has spines, not true thorns. They are to protect the plant from damage from animals that may want to eat them
What is an antitranspirant?
An antitranspirant is a substance applied to plant leaves in order to reduce transpiration.
What will reduce the rate of transpiration at night?
During the night, transpiration naturally slows down due to cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and reduced sunlight. To further reduce transpiration at night, you can limit air movement around the plant, avoid overwatering, and ensure the plant is well-hydrated before nightfall.
What is the plant organ that carries transpiration called?
Plant organ carrying transpiration is called stomata
What environmental factor has the greatest effect on transpiration?
The environmental factor that has the greatest effect on transpiration is humidity. High humidity levels reduce the rate of transpiration because there is already a lot of moisture in the air, making it harder for water to evaporate from the plant's leaves. Conversely, low humidity levels increase transpiration as the drier air creates a larger gradient for water to move out of the plant.

What is an antitranspirant?
An antitranspirant is a substance applied to plant leaves in order to reduce transpiration.
What plant has tiny leaves that reduce the amount of water lost through transpiration?
Succulents, such as cacti and aloe vera, have tiny leaves which minimize water loss through transpiration by storing water in their fleshy stems and leaves. This adaptation helps them thrive in arid environments with limited water availability.
What will reduce the rate of transpiration at night?
During the night, transpiration naturally slows down due to cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and reduced sunlight. To further reduce transpiration at night, you can limit air movement around the plant, avoid overwatering, and ensure the plant is well-hydrated before nightfall.
Is cactus leafy plant?
yes, it is, the leaf of a cacti plant is modified into spines in order to reduce transpiration. This is a method of desert adaptation.
Scientific name of a alovira plant?
believe it or not the scientific name of the aloe vera plant, or medicinal aloe, is "aloe vera"
Has your aloe plant froze recently?
No, my aloe plant has not frozen recently.
Has the aloe plant froze outside?
Yes, the aloe plant has frozen outside.
What is the loss of water through a plant's leaves is called?
Evaporation of water through the plant's leaves is called transpiration.
Is the aloe plant toxic to cats?
Yes, the aloe plant is toxic to cats if ingested.
The evaporation of water from plants is called what?
Transpiration. During the day, water is constantly evaporating from the plant, mainly through leaf stomata. The large amount of water lost from the plant is a result of the plant's need to obtain carbon dioxide from the air.
What is the plant organ that carries transpiration called?
Plant organ carrying transpiration is called stomata
