Harry is doing a research project on the movement of plants from the ocean to land. He leaned that plants evolved vascular tissues, which enabled them to pull water from the ground and survive on land. Which is most likely
another adaptation that contributed to the success of land plants?

cell walls?
chloroplasts
waxy cuticle
gametes

Waxy Cuticle

Explanation:

Waxy Cuticle retains water. It's the closest in terms of surviving on land. For instance, the plants living in water do not need waxy Cuticle to retain or maintain water. The plants on land requires waxy Cuticle because the temperature is hotter than in the water and they are at higher risk of loosing water during hot seasons and climate. waxy Cuticle aids in their water retention allowing them to adapt to live on land.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
