No. Rolled leaves may offer some protection from infection by protecting the stomata, but not much. Try again.
Yes. The stomata are in crypts on the inside of the rolled leaf protected from the wind and so covered by a persistent layer of humid air.
Go to the menu and select 'Mesophyte' to compare these leaves with those of mesophytes.
No. The spiny leaves deter larger herbivores, but small insects may actually find shelter inside the rolled leaf. Try again.
