Types of
Plants
Xerophytes
found in areas like deserts where there is:
- very little soil water supply
- very little rainfall.
-
leaf
curvature
-
- folding:
- traps humid air next to stomata
- reducing wp gradient
- reduces evaporation rate + transpiration
reduced surface
area
-
- spines:
- reduced surface area across
which transpiration can take place
-
cuticular
thickening
- waterproof layer
- reducing evaporation
leaf hairs
- hairs:
- restrict air flow
- help trap diffusion shells
- reducing wp gradient
sunken
stomata
grooves reduce transpiration
- create layer of humid air
around stomata
- reduced wp gradient
-
-
-
Hydrophytes
plants that are adapted for
living in
- fresh water
- very wet environments
(eg water lily, rice)
