Ans.

Plant waxes include complex compounds of alcohols, carbohydrates, acids, esters, hydrocarbons, and their combinations, present at the outside of epidermal cells. These waxes are strongly hydrophobic in nature and act as water repellents.

Thus, they provide protection to the aquatic plants against surface wetting. In land plants, waxes, present in cuticle prevent water loss, such as in dessert plants. Other functions of waxes include energy-storage, self-cleaning and reflection of UV radiation.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

A physical property is any property that is measurable, whose value describes a state of a physical system. The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. Physical properties are often referred to as observables. They are not modal properties

A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity
