Where are chloroplasts found?
Palisade layer - This is why the palisade layer is near the top where it can get the most light
5 of 14
Adaptions of Upper Epidermis?
Transparent - so light can pass through it to the palisade layer

What are vascular bundles?
Transport vessels - Xylem and Phloem (they deliver water and other nutrients to every part of the leaf and take away glucose produced by photosynthesis
7 of 14
Adaptions of the waxy cuticle?
Helps reduce water loss by evaporation

What are nitrates for?
For making amino acids, proteins chlorophyll and DNA
9 of 14
Deficiency Symptoms of Nitrate and Magnesium?
Stunted growth, Leaves turn yellow

Pesticides?
Chemical pest control. Some harm other wildlife.
11 of 14
Biological Control?
Introducing a new organism to the crop that is a natural predator of the pest. Less harmful to wildlife. Longer-lasting effect

What is the effect of fertiliser?
It increases crop yield
