Question

(8) Plants have thick cuticle to reduce transpiration.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes..

Explanation:

Due to high temperature, the water is lost from the stomata of the plant as a result of high rate of transpiration. In order to curtail the high rate of transpiration, the leaves have thick waxy coating known as the cuticle.

Answer 2

Answer:

The xerophytes plants have a thick waxy cuticle on the stem and on the leaves. This waxy cuticle helps to reduce water evaporation. ... To adapt to this environment the xerophytic plant leaves reduce into spines, which reduces the surface area of the leaf and also reduces the amount of transpiration.
