Question

List any three adaptations in plants to reduce transpiration.

Answer 1

1. Fewer or sunken stomata: Plants like Nerium have sunken stomata, which reduce transpiration.
2. Narrow leaves: Narrow leaves have less surface area, so they reduce transpiration.
3. Thick cuticle: A thick cuticle, as found in Banyan leaves, reduces the loss of water and hence reduces transpiration.
