NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The surfaces of the leaves of many plants help to reduce water loss because they are not water-permeable. How does the biomolecule that makes up this surface differ from other biomolecules? It is made up of long chains of fatty acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -A waxy layer known as the cuticle covers the leaves of all plant species. The cuticle reduces the rate of water loss from the leaf surface. Other leaves may have small hairs (trichomes) on the leaf surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The waxy covering on plant leaves, young stems, and fruit is called the “cuticle". It is composed of cutin, a wax-like material produced by the plant that is chemically a hydroxy fatty acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many plants have waxy coatings on some surfaces. This coating reduces water loss because it is not water-permeable.

Detailed explanation-5: -Beeswax is a waxy substance that is produced by bees and then harvested by humans for a variety of uses. Ancient Romans used beeswax as a waterproofing agent because it is not water-permeable.
