Question

Which of the following is/are not correctly matched?

• A. Fewer stomata- higher rate of transpiration
• B. Loss of leaves- modified into spines to reduce transpiration
• C. Thick cuticle- to keep the leaf evergreen
• D. Sunken stomata- trap moist air which reduces diffusion and reduces water loss.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

Fewer stomata- higher rate of transpiration

C

Thick cuticle- to keep the leaf evergreen

Plants which grow in dry climate have many adaptations.

1. Fewer stomata- decreased rate of transpiration

2. Loss of leaves- modified into spines to reduce transpiration

3. Thick cuticle- to prevent transpiration

4. Sunken stomata- trap moist air which reduces diffusion and reduces water loss.
