Which evolutionary adaptation to bryophtes to colonize land?
Waxy Cuticle
The waxy protective covering of a land plant is called a what?
The waxy protective covering of a land plant is called a cuticle.
What is a leaf cuticle for?
It controls water loss.It is adaptation to land enviroment.
What is a leafs cuticle?
It controls water loss.It is adaptation to land enviroment.
A paleontologist find a plant fossil that shows evidence of cuticle what can the paleontologist conclude?
It was a land plant.
What is one adaptation that land plants have to keep from drying out?
Absorption of water from soil and its conservation
Why would being an angiosperm be an adaptation on land?
It helps the plant reproduce in dry environments.
What is the part of the plant that slows the loss of water?
Okay so the cuticle slows a plant's loss of water..... A cuticle is a waxy, protective layer that slows the loss of water. The cuticle is a structure that helps plants survive on land
Why is cuticle a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae?
The cuticle is a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae because: in order for plants to live on land, they need a cuticle to prevent water loss during dry climates. Algae live in the water, therefore they don't need a cuticle to survive. They use their adaptations to absorb the water and nutrients around their watery environments. Source: My straight "A" brain
Why would plants cuticle be an adaptation on land?
it prevents the evaporation of water from the plant
How are cuticle stomata and vascular tissues an advantage to land plants?
Cuticle Stomata is an advantage to land plants because it keeps water inside the plant from evaporating. Vascular tissues are an advantage because they transport water, food, and other materials throught the plant. They also preserve water.
Why would a plant cuticle be an adaptations on land?
The cuticle is thick and waxy. Thanks to the Cuticle, it helps reduce the rate of water loss, which also benefits in dry environments, and hot seasons such as in deserts. Water is very little, so plants can survive longer witout water.
