Neco 2022 Biology Question 16
Practice objective / multiple choice question 16 from the 2022 Neco Biology examination.
An arid‑adapted shrub reduces its leaf surface area by \(40\%\) compared with a related mesic species. The mesic species has a leaf area of \(250\ \text{cm}^2\) and a stomatal density of \(120\ \text{stomata}\,\text{mm}^{-2}\). Each stomata loses \(0.02\ \text{mg}\) of water per hour. The desert shrub's stomatal density is \(30\%\) lower than that of the mesic species and its leaf area is \(150\ \text{cm}^2\). Assuming water loss is proportional to the total number of stomata, calculate the total water loss of the desert shrub per hour in milligrams.
