Plants have evolved physical and chemical defence systems to protect themselves against pathogens and pests.
Draw one straight line from each plant defence to its correct primary function.
| Plant defence | Function | |
|---|---|---|
| Waxy cuticle on leaves | Mimics larger animals to scare away pests | |
| Acts as a physical barrier to prevent pathogen entry | ||
| Antibacterial chemicals | Poisons herbivores to deter grazing | |
| Kills bacterial pathogens to prevent infection | ||
| Absorbs toxic substances from the soil |
