Resource summary

OCR AS Xerophytic Adaptions

Hairy Leaves - trap water vapour as a layer of moisture
Sunken Stomata - found in pits to trap water vapour
Rolled Leaves - presence of hinge cells which reduces the surface area exposed
High Solute Concentration in Cells - reduces water potential inside leaves
Thick, Waxy Cuticle - waterproof to reduce water loss, relatively impermeable
Small, Needle Leaves - reduces surface area
Fewer Stomata - reduces diffusion of water vapour
Stomata on Lower Surface - less exposure to sun, reduces diffusion
Densely Packed Spongy Mesophyll - smaller surface area for evaporation
