?
What is the purpose of the wax cuticle?
The wax cuticle's purpose is to help prevent water loss
1 of 6
What is the eperdermis and what is its purpose?
The eperdermis is thin and transparent and it's prpose is to allow more light to the chloroplasts
2 of 6
What does the palisade layer contain and why?
The palisade layer contains chloroplasts to retrieve sunlight and provide nutrients to the plant
3 of 6
How is the Spongy layer useful?
The spongy layer icludes many air holes to allow diffusion to take place from carbon dioxide throughout the leaf. This will create a larger surface area
4 of 6
What are stomata and what is there purpose in a leaf's tructure?
Stomata are openings which allow caron dioxide to diffuse in and oxygen to diffuse out
