Features of xerophytes​

Biology
1 answer:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Xerophyte survival characteristics:

Thick cuticle.

Stomatal closure.

Reduction in # of stomata.

Stomata hidden in crypts or depressions in leaf surface (less exposure to wind and sun).

Reduction in size of transpiration surface (lower leaf only).

Increased water storage.

Explanation:

Xerophyte adaptations increase water intake, limit water loss, and store water efficiently. Water intake adaptations include deep or widespread roots, and high salt content to increase osmosis. Xerophytes have thick cuticles, lost or finely divided leaves, reduced stomata, and CAM photosynthesis

slega [8]

Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate

Explanation:

In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.

Why are there more stomata in the bottom of leaves
Jobisdone [24]

Stomata play an important role in photosynthesis as they allow the plant to absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. In exchange, stomata allow oxygen, which is a waste product of photosynthesis, to be released. In the process, water vapor is also lost as the internal parts of the leaves are exposed. To reduce exposure, stomata are found on the underside of the leaves. They are protected from the sun as excessive heat can increase the rate of water vapor leaving and thus wither the plant. Stomata also have guard cells around the epidermis that close when too much water is being lost.
