Question

3. Thick cuticle reduces loss of water through a. mesophyll cells b. epidermal cells c. passage cells d. sclerenchyma cells​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. mesophyll cells

Explanation:

Densely packed spongy mesophyll: This reduces the cell surface area that is exposed to the air inside the leaves. Less water will evaporate into the leaf air spaces, reducing the rate of water loss. A thick waxy cuticle: This reduces evaporation further.

Answer 2

• From the given question the correct option is b.

• As we know that epidermal cells control water loss. it also controls gas exchange.

• It protects the plant from atmospheric pollution, fungi, bacteria, etc. it provides protection to plants.

• The epidermal cells help in transpiration regulation.

• The epidermal cells increase the water absorption.

• So that a thick cuticle reduces the loss of water through epidermal cells.
