Question
what type of liquid do plants use in their leaves to prevent water loss?
water
photosynthetic fluid
oil
resins
Plants use a waxy substance called a cuticle on their leaves to prevent water loss. This cuticle is a non - cellular, waxy layer that covers the outer surface of the plant's aerial parts. Water would not be effective in preventing water loss as it is the substance plants need to retain. Oil and nectar are not used by plants in their leaves for the primary purpose of water - loss prevention.
