Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bundle sheath cells are specialized cells that surround the vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) in a leaf. They provide support and protection to the vascular tissue. Stomata are pores on the leaf surface that regulate gas exchange. Cuticle is a waxy layer on the leaf surface that prevents water loss. Trichomes are hair-like structures on the leaf surface that can provide defense against herbivores or reduce water loss. Guard cells are specialized cells that surround stomata and control their opening and closing.
