Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Plants have evolved several strategies for reducing transpiration. These strategies fit into two general groups: (1) modifications to photosynthesis that make carbon dioxide acquisition more efficient, and (2) modifications to leaf shape and stomata placement that increase water conservation.

Vernalization is a plant response to: Light Gravity Physical contact None of the above Plant epidermis secretes a waterproof substance called: Cuticle Wax Periderm covering Pectin Plant transpiration accounts for what % of atmospheric water vapor? 50% 90% 5% 75%
Protects the plant and prevents it from drying out by means of a waxy Select match cuticle. Provides support and useful for food storage. -> Select match Thick walls allow them -> Select match to support the plant and also allow it to be flexible. The brain and spinal cord, which contains special cells called Select match neurones. Skeletal or striated Select match tissue connected to the skeleton to help with movement. Tissue found on the -> Select match surface of the skin.
A mutation causes the vascular cambium in a plant to stop working. How does this impact cellular respiration?   The stomata would remain open and release water vapor.    The guard cells would remain closed and store water vapor.   The leaves would not be able to release glucose for energy production.   The xylem would not be able to transport water to the rest of the plant.
