    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).

    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.
