Plant epidermis, a single layer of packed cells, is covered by a waxy cuticle to prevent water loss and contains stomata (guarded by guard cells) for gas exchange.

Plant epidermis is a single layer of closely packed cells covered by a waxy cuticle to reduce water loss, with stomata formed by guard cells allowing gas exchange.

Front Draw, label and annotate diagram to show how epidermis tissue is specialised for its function.
Back Epidermis:
  • Single layer of closely packed cells that covers surface of plants
  • Covered by waxy waterproof cuticle - reduces loss of water
  • Stomata (formed by guard cells) - allow CO2, H2O and O in and out
