Limiting Water Loss
Humans
- moist surface of Alveoli
Plants (Xerophytes)
- Stomata can close
- Guard Cells become Flaccid
- Waxy Cuticle reduces evaporation rate
- Curled Leaves with Stomata in pits trap moist air and protect from wind
- Epidermis Hairs trap moist air
- reduced Stomata numbers so fewer places for water to escape
- Stomata can close
Insects
- Spiracles can close
- Waxy Cuticle all over body is waterproof
- Hairs around Spiracles reduce evaporation
- air in Trachae has high conc of water vapour
