Question

Which of the following is NOT an adaptation of a leaf for gas exchange?* A)large surface area of mesophyll cells B) interconnecting air spaces in mesophyll C)many stomata D)thick waxy cuticle

Answer 1

D) THICK WAXY CUTICLE

The leaf have adaptations in order to do gas exchange, which are the follwings:

-Large surface area of mesophyll cells

-Interconnecting air spaces in mesophyll

A thick waxy cuticle is NOT an adaptation because the waxy cuticle is not thick, is thin, in order to have a short distance for the carbon dioxide to diffuse into the cells.
