Question

describe the anatomy of a leaf from a plant that would be ideally suited to seasonally very wet and very warm climatic conditions. Include in your description the arrangement of important tissues and cells.

Answer 1

The anatomy of a leaf from a plant that would be ideally suited to seasonally very wet and very warm climatic conditions is-

When the environment in warm condition water of the plant evaporates more rapidly. So plant close their stomata on the epidermal layer of leaves to prevent excessive water loss. As well as number of stomatal opening become decrease on the upper epidermal surface of the leaf.

Closer of stomata of leaves reduces CO₂ uptale by plant as a result photosynthesis rate decreased. Sometimes plant shows CAM where leaf open their stomata at night to get CO₂.

Leaves become narrow and modified into hairy, waxy or spine like structure to reduce the surface area of leaves to reduce loss. Thick cuticle on upper layer of leaf.
