Question

State the adaptations of plant which enable them to reduce water loss [5 points].

Answer 1

Explanation:

Less leaf surface area results in reduced water loss through the epidermis. Small leaves have fewer stomata than larger leaves, and that adaptation also reduces water loss. Some dry-land plants have stomata only on the bottom epidermis, which further reducing water loss, and some have several layers of epidermal cells.
