Xylem transports _____and _______from the roots to the leaf Phloem transports ________synthesized in the leaf to all part of the plant Consists of upper epidermis and _________. It serves as a transparent single layer Epidermal cell has no _________and therefore permits light to penetrate into mesophyll tissues. Outer surface of epidermis is covered by _______ which is waterproof. It protects leaf from ________and excessive loss of water . Found abundantly at the _______surface of leaf. Its opening is controlled by _______ . Exchange of ________ and ___________ gas during photosynthesis and respiration takes place through this opening.
