How do a group of plants called succulents adapt to their desert environment?
Cacti and succulents are plants that have adapted to the scarcity of rain water where they live, usually in a dry desert environment. They survive by having fibrous roots that spread out and dive deep into the ground, seeking out any underground water levels deep below. Any water is stored in stems or leaf cells that will expand to accommodate and hold as much water as possible. Cacti and succulents have a waxy coating that prevents water escaping from the plant.
What keeps a leaf from losing too much water from evaporation?
Transpiration is controlled by stomata.
What is the role of xylem in a leaf?
In a plant, they transport water to the leaf through the Vascular Tissue.
Why is the waxy cuticle on a leaf?
The wax cuticle covers the upper epidermis. The main task of the cuticle is to activate cuticular transpiration in a plant. Sometimes a very shiny cuticle may be present in a plant to minimize transpiration of the plant. It basically reflects back sunlight. These are the two main functions.
What is the waxy layer that surrounds the leaf and proctects it from too much water loss called?
The waxy layer that surrounds the leaf and helps prevent excessive water loss is called the cuticle. It acts as a barrier that reduces evaporation and protects the leaf from environmental stressors.
Which part of leaves is designed to prevent too much water escaping?
The cuticle helps prevent too much water from escaping.
How does a leaf prevent from dehydrating?
A leaf prevents dehydration through a process called transpiration. Specialized cells called stomata regulate how much water is released from the leaf, and a waxy cuticle on the leaf's surface helps reduce water loss. The plant also transports water from the roots to the leaves to replace what is lost through transpiration.

Is the cuticle in a leaf water proof?
yes, it is a water proof layer that stops the leaf loosing too much water.
What will happen to the leaf's texture if it is placed in a water for a couple of hours?
It depends on how much salt is in the water. If no salt, the leaf will swell. If it is the same amount in the water as in the leaf, then nothing will happen. If more is outside than inside the leaf, it will shrivel.
Why is it important for the leaf to lose water?
Because, it may not store that much water, it would overflow, and die!
