7.

What is the function of the waxy cuticle on leaves?

a)

To stop rain entering the leaf

b)

To prevent excess loss of water from the leaf

To allow gas exchange

8.

How is the spongy mesophyll adapted for gas exchange?

a)

It is close to the palisade cells

b)

It contains chloroplasts

c)

It has air spaces and a large surface area

d)

It contains lots of small cells

9.

Where in a leaf does photosynthesis occur?

a)

In chloroplasts

b)

In palisade cells

c)

In spongy mesophyll cells

d)

All of the above

10.

Why are palisade cells arranged at the top of the leaf?

a)

So that they are far away from the stomata

b)

So that sugars made on photosynthesis can be transported to the phloem

c)

So that chloroplasts are concentrated in one place

d)

So that chloroplasts receive the maximum amount of sunlight

control the movement of water vapour & gases 
14.

If guard cells are swollen with water, then they are more likely to be ...

a)

OPEN with stomata

b)

CLOSED with no stomata
