   Why do leaf cells form a protective layer over a leaf?

   • They form a protective layer over the leaf. They often produce waxy substances which protect the leaf from drying out or being attacked by insects. A leaf cell in the epidermis often lacks chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for creating sugar. The upper and lower epidermis vary slightly.

   What type of tissue makes up a leaf?

   • Leaf tissue consists of the epidermis, which forms the outermost cell layer, and mesophyll and vascular tissue, which make up the inner portion of the leaf. In some plant species, leaf form is modified to form structures such as tendrils, spines, bud scales, and needles.

   What is an epidermal leaf cell?

   • Their definitions refer to the following image. An epidermal leaf cell is any cell which protects the outside of the leaf. These cells are often short and flattened, much like a square pancake. They form a protective layer over the leaf. They often produce waxy substances which protect the leaf from drying out or being attacked by insects.

   How does the internal structure of a leaf promote photosynthesis?

   • The internal structure of the leaf is also adapted to promote efficient photosynthesis. When a plant is carrying out photosynthesis carbon dioxide needs to move from the air into the leaf. It does this by diffusing through small pores called stomata. At the same time oxygen moves out of the leaf through the stomata.

   What is the structure of a leaf?

   • Deceptively simple in appearance, a leaf is a highly efficient structure. Each leaf typically has a leaf blade called the lamina, which is also the widest part of the leaf. Some leaves are attached to the plant stem by a petiole. Leaves that do not have a petiole and are directly attached to the plant stem are called sessile leaves.

   How are leaves adapted?

   • Leaves are adapted in several ways to help them perform their functions. The internal structure of the leaf is also adapted to promote efficient photosynthesis. When a plant is carrying out photosynthesis carbon dioxide needs to move from the air into the leaf. It does this by diffusing through small pores called stomata.

   Oct 31, 2023 · The epidermis is usually one cell layer thick. However, in plants that grow in very hot or very cold conditions, the epidermis may be several layers thick to protect against excessive water loss from transpiration. A waxy layer known as the cuticle covers the leaves of all plant species.

   A protective layer called the cuticle covers surface of the epidermal cells (Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\)). The cuticle is rich in lignin (which lends some rigidity) and waxes (which function in waterproofing).
