Why do land plants need to conserve water

Biology
1 answer:
erastova [34]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: Some arid-climate plants are able to conserve water because of their reduced leaf size. Less leaf surface area results in reduced water loss through the epidermis. Small leaves have fewer stomata than larger leaves, and that adaptation also reduces water loss.

the skull forms a solid sheet of protection and the ribs form a cage. why do you think the rib cage is not a solid sheet like th
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

I think the the ribs are not a solid sheet because they need to be able to expand so the lungs can get an adequate amount of air in the lungs. The brain just needs to be protected and doesn’t need to expand so it’s a solid sheet. The skull seems to be the better protector at first because the ribs can break and puncture a lung, harming your breathing but if you do hit your head your brain can start swelling and the skull doesn’t allow any room for expansion. Head injuries are much more dangerous, especially if the brain starts swelling. Rib injuries seem much simpler to fix and less dangerous.
