What is the cuticle's purpose?

The cuticle is a waxy layer that covers the epidermis of plants, helping to prevent excessive water loss.

Cuticle and Transpiration

The cuticle is a protective layer that helps the plant conserve water by reducing transpiration.

What the cuticle DOESN'T do?

The cuticle is not involved in gas exchange (which is done through stomata), photosynthesis (which happens in chloroplasts) or nutrient absorption (which occurs through the roots).

Cellulose cell walls

Cell walls made of cellulose are a structural feature found in both green algae and plants. They provide support and protection for the cells.

Chlorophyll a

Green algae and plants use the same type of chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, for photosynthesis, which is why they both appear green.

Movement using cilia

Green algae are able to move using cilia, which are hair-like structures that help them propel through water. Plants, on the other hand, are immobile.

Starch as food storage

Both green algae and plants store excess food as starch, a complex carbohydrate that serves as a readily available energy source.

Difference in movement

While green algae and plants share many characteristics, the ability to move using cilia is unique to green algae. This is because plants are rooted and have adapted to a more stationary lifestyle.

What does the cuticle NOT do?

The cuticle does not play a role in gas exchange. This is done through specialized openings called stomata. The cuticle doesn't directly participate in photosynthesis, which happens in chloroplasts, or nutrient absorption, which occurs through roots.
