The leаves оf аspen trees cаn be damaged by a tiny insect called a leaf miner. The leaf miner larva feeds оn a single layer оf cells in the leaf: the epidermal cells. If the leaf miner is in the bottom of the leaf, it eats and destroys the cells of the lower epidermis, including the guard cells. When damaged, the guard cells are unable to open; they collapse shut. The waxy cuticle on the surface of the leaf remains intact. As a result of leaf miner damage to the lower epidermis, we would predict that: carbon fixation during photosynthesis would [a] water and nutrient transport from the roots to the leaves would [b]
