Adaptation of the leaf to photosynthesis practice exercise 3

After a hailstorm, some leaves on a maize plant were damaged, but the plant still continued growing well. Explain how leaf adaptations might have helped the plant continue with photosynthesis.  (1 mark)

A farmer in Garissa grows two types of crops. One has thick, waxy leaves and survives well in the dry season; the other dries out quickly. Explain how the leaf adaptation in the first crop supports photosynthesis. (1 mark)

Every morning, Otieno saw tiny water droplets under the leaves of a mango tree. He wondered if that had anything to do with photosynthesis. How is the position of stomata an adaptation?  (1 mark)

A farmer in Eldoret noticed that when the stem of a young maize plant was damaged, the leaves above the injury started wilting while the ones below remained green. Refer to the diagram below showing xylem and phloem tissues in the stem. Explain how this observation relates to the function of xylem and phloem in the plant. (2 marks)
