Which plant adaptation evolved when plants transitioned to life on land?
A. asexual spores for reproduction
B. chlorophyll for photosynthesis
C. cell walls that surround the cells
D. insoluble cuticles that cover leaves
Homework Answers
Option D.
Insoluble cuticle which covers the leaves of all plants reduces the rate of water loss from the leaf surface. This function is exclusively good for plants living on land so is the answer.
All the other options are adaptations which are not exclusively for terrestrial plants.
