Question
In conifers, transpiration is reduced due to the presence of :-(I) Needle-like leaves(II) Thin cuticle in leaves(III) Sunken stomata in leavesI onlyI and IIII and IIII and III
Solution
In conifers, transpiration is reduced due to certain adaptations that help to conserve water. Let's analyze each statement:
(I) Needle-like leaves: This is true. Conifers have needle-like leaves, which reduce the surface area exposed to air and thus reduce water loss through transpiration.
(II) Thin cuticle in leaves: This is false. Conifers actually have a thick cuticle on their leaves, which acts as a barrier to water loss.
(III) Sunken stomata in leaves: This is true. The stomata (pores used for gas exchange) in conifers are often sunken into the surface of the leaves, which helps to reduce water loss by protecting the stomata from exposure to wind and dry air.
So, the correct answer is "I and III".

Transpiration in the plants occurs through which of the following ?1 pointHydathodesEpidermisStomataleaflets
Part A. These stomata are located in the lower epidermis of two leaves. What can be concluded by comparing image X to image Y?Select one:a.X is in a leaf releasing water or oxygen. Y is in a leaf during the night.b.X is in a leaf with a waxy cuticle to prevent overheating. Y is in a leaf that needs to protect its cells from freezing temperatures.c.X is in a leaf of a plant during a drought. Y is in a leaf facilitating photosynthesis.d.X is in a leaf that needs to release excess sugars. Y is in a leaf that needs to take in carbon dioxide.QUESTION 6Question textPart B. What evidence supports your answer to Part A? [B.2H]Select one:a.Stomata open when they have made too much sugar. They close when they have enough carbon dioxide inside the leaves.b.When stomata are open, water vapor and other gases are released into the atmosphere. They close at night when photosynthesis doesn't occur.c.Stomata open to take in more water when the environment is dry. They close to enable photosynthesis to occur.d.When plants get hot, stomata open to release heat. They close to hold present cold air from entering.
