opaque / transparent / smooth / palisade / mesophyll / guard


The upper epidermis is so that light can pass through it. This means that as much light as possible can reach the mesophyll cells below, and be used in photosynthesis. 

transparent
palisade

Which structures help to minimise water loss?

(Select all that apply)

Transparent upper epidermis 

Waxy cuticle 

Guard cells which can close stomata

Lots of spongy mesophyll cells

2

flaccid / turgid / opens / closes / enter / leave


If there is plenty of water in the leaf, guard cells become , which the stomata. This allows carbon dioxide to the leaf, but also allows water to escape.
