Leaf structure

Front

What is the pathway of water through a plant?

Back

root hair cell → xylem → stomata

Front

What structure on a leaf prevents water loss?

Back

Cuticle

Front

Why are leaves on trees wide and expansive?

Back

To absorb as much sunlight as possible.

Front

Where is the stoma located on a leaf?

Back

On the lower epidermis.

Front

What are the structures in leaves that open and close to regulate gas exchange?

Back

Guard cells.

Front

What is the primary function of xylem in plants?

Back

To transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

What role do stomata play in plant physiology?

Back

They allow for gas exchange, enabling the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the function of the cuticle in leaves?

Back

To reduce water loss and protect the leaf from environmental damage.

Front

How do guard cells regulate water loss in plants?

Back

By opening and closing the stomata based on environmental conditions.

Front

What is the significance of leaf structure in photosynthesis?

Back

A larger surface area allows for more sunlight absorption, enhancing photosynthesis.
