What would be the effect if a leaf’s blade was not flat?

It would be more resistant to tearing

How do stomata help maintain homeostasis in plants?

By regulating gas exchange and water loss

How do stomata contribute to the function of a leaf?

Allow gases to diffuse in and out

How does the structure of the spongy mesophyll aid in its function?

By providing air spaces for gas movement

Why is it important for the mesophyll cells to be moist?

To allow gases to enter and leave easily

What would happen if water lost through transpiration is not replaced?

The leaf’s survival may be threatened

The leaf would photosynthesize more

The leaf would store more water

How does the structure of the palisade mesophyll relate to its function?

Tightly packed cells maximize light absorption

Loosely packed cells allow gas exchange

What is the role of guard cells in the epidermis of a leaf?

To regulate the movement of gases and water vapor

To absorb minerals from the soil

To protect the leaf from sunlight

How do guard cells change shape to open the stomata?

By increasing water pressure inside the cells

What is the effect of open stomata on photosynthesis?

It allows carbon dioxide to enter, enabling photosynthesis

It reduces the amount of oxygen produced

What does the image of the two potted plants illustrate?

A plant may wilt when water is scarce.

A plant grows faster in a larger pot.

A plant changes color when exposed to sunlight.

A plant produces more flowers when watered.

Why do living stone plants have rounded leaves with few stomata?

To minimize exposure to air and reduce water loss.

To maximize water absorption from the soil.

To increase the rate of photosynthesis.

What adaptation helps spruce leaves reduce water loss?

Waxy epidermis and sunken stomata.

How do cactus leaves differ from typical leaves in terms of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is carried out in the stems.

Photosynthesis occurs mainly in the spines.

Cactus leaves are broad and flat for photosynthesis.

Cactus leaves have a thick cuticle for photosynthesis.

How do adaptations in leaf structure help plants survive in different biomes?

By allowing plants to cope with specific environmental conditions.

By making all leaves the same shape.

By increasing the number of flowers.

Why is minimizing the exposure of leaf surface to air important for living stone plants?

To reduce water loss in dry environments.

How do the adaptations of pitcher plants differ from those of cacti?

Pitcher plants digest insects, cacti have thorns for protection.

Pitcher plants store water, cacti attract insects.

Pitcher plants have thorns, cacti have waxy leaves.

Pitcher plants photosynthesize in stems, cacti in leaves.
