     • A leaf usually has a large surface area, so that it can absorb a lot of light. Its top surface is protected from water loss, disease and weather damage by a waxy layer.

   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 are some adaptations of a leaf?

   • The table describes some of its adaptations: A leaf usually has a large surface area, so that it can absorb a lot of light. Its top surface is protected from water loss, disease and weather damage by a waxy layer. The upper part of the leaf is where the light falls, and it contains a type of cell called a palisade cell.

   What is a Leaf adapted to carry out photosynthesis?

   • The leaf is a plant organ adapted to carry out photosynthesis. The table describes some of its adaptations: A leaf usually has a large surface area, so that it can absorb a lot of light. Its top surface is protected from water loss, disease and weather damage by a waxy layer.

   Why do leaf cells have waxy substances?

   • 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. The upper epidermis, often exposed to direct sunlight, is often a thin layer of translucent cells.

   Which part of a leaf is adapted to absorb a lot of light?

   • The upper part of the leaf is where the light falls, and it contains a type of cell called a palisade cell. This is adapted to absorb a lot of light. It has lots of chloroplasts and is shaped like a tall box. Plants get the carbon dioxide they need from the air through their leaves.

   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.

   Water vapour also diffuses out of the stomata. The stomata are surrounded by guard cells, which control their opening and closing. Cells in the leaf are loosely packed.

   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).

   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.

   Aug 24, 2018 · Epidermis. 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.
