What else can I help you with?
Does the leaf have a large or small surface area to volume ratio?
the surface area of LEAVES depends. Pine needles and cacti have small surface areas banana leaves, philodendron leaves, and other tropical plants have gigantic ones. it all depends on where the plants are endemic to.
How are small leaves an adaptation for plants living in hot areas?
Small leaves reduce surface area for water loss through evapotranspiration, helping plants retain moisture in hot and dry conditions. This adaptation also helps plants regulate their internal temperature by minimizing exposure to intense sunlight, reducing overheating in hot areas.
How have plants which live in hot areas adapted to reduce transpiration?
Plants in hot areas have adapted by developing smaller leaves, reducing the surface area from which water can evaporate. They may also have thicker cuticles to minimize water loss, and some have specialized tissues like succulent stems or leaves to store water for times of scarcity. Additionally, some plants close their stomata during the hottest parts of the day to conserve water.
What is the cell structure prevent water lost in leaves?
U r supposed to help me :) Short Answer = Stromata. Stroma are, I think, those structures that are in the [plant cell's] chloroplasts that are 'Thick with' the Thylakoid membranes. HFY ( Here For You ).
What is the weed that has thorns on the leaves and stem?
It sounds like you might be referring to plants like thistle or burdock, which have thorns on their leaves and stems to deter animals from eating them. These plants are considered weeds in many areas due to their invasive nature and ability to outcompete native vegetation.

What are the plants that have scales or spines instead of leaves that are found in dry areas?
Cacti :D
What adaptations allow plants to live in areas with so little rainfall?
The think lobes the ability to store water until it is neededadaptations to collect and retain water- thick, non-pourous stems, not leaves, but thick lobes the ability to store water until it's neededdeep taproot
What is the waxy waterproof layer that covers the leaves and stems of most plants?
The waxy waterproof layer that cover most plant leaves and stems is called a cuticle. The cuticle is thicker on the upper half of a leaf's surface, and it is waterproof so as the internal areas of the leaf are kept secure from flooding, That's why you water plants at the roots.
Why don't any plants grow in icy areas?
Most plants don't grown in icy areas because the plants require a certain amount of sunlight and warmth to survive. The ice causes the roots, leaves, and stems to freeze which kills the plant.
Is a tissue in some plants that is made of specialized cells and that transports nutrients from the leaves to other areas of the plant.?
Phloem

How do plants get sugar to the place to where they need it?
So-called "vascular" plants (such as vegetables, flowering plants, and trees) have a system of cell channels known as "phloem cells" that carry sugar from the production areas (mostly leaves) to storage areas or to cells that use the sugar.
Why do some plants have small leaves and some have big leaves thank you?
because they just do Plants with small leaves live in extreme environments. Some plants have big leaves to make photosynthesis easier for the plant probably because it lives somewhere shady. Plants with small leaves have lots of light so big leaves are not required. The bigger the leaf the bigger the surface area so big and small leaves collect the same amount of light. **Edit** Additionally a big factor that stresses effective leaf sizing is the amount of atmospheric moisture and heat. Some plants will fix carbon in the night time, reducing the amount of water loss they experience through the stomata, but others do not: as they intake CO2, they also lose water due to the heat. Hence a cactus's leaves are thin needles. Doesn't allow for a lot of CO2 fixation (so slow growth), but there's very little evaporation, so they don't die easily. It's a tradeoff for many plants.
What are dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun called?
Dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun are called sunspots. They are areas of reduced temperature caused by interactions with the sun's magnetic field.
