Why are stomata found on the lower side of the leaf?
Stomata are found on the lower side of the leave because they are the gateway for gas exchange, and gas surrounds the plant on all sides. If they are found more commonly on the bottom side of leaves, it is likely because the direct sunlight on superior leaf surfaces would cause increased evaporation via stomata, which i snot good for the plant.
Is the stomata on both sides of the leaf?
yes but it far more common on the underside
What is the difference between a banana leaf and a guava leaf?
The same difference between a fruit fly and a beetle. If you're looking for more detail, I suggest you refer to your textbook. There are several differences in the structures, i.e. vein patterns and sizes but they both appear to be C3 plants with the normal assortment of stoma, mesophyll cells, and cuticles.
Why are plants found in the shade have more stomata than plants found in the sun?
the stomata are used to exchange water and air on the leaf surface.
What is the difference between leaf and leave?
"Leaf" is singular - one leaf. "Leaves" is plural - more than one leaf.
Why are there more stoma on the bottom of the leaf?
to preserve water
Why plants with stoma cannot live in desserts?
A stoma is a pore found in a leaf's epidermis. This pore is used primarily for gas exchanges (carbon dioxide/oxygen), but it also has another unavoidable function. That function is decreasing the water in the leaf. The water evaporates and leaves the leaf through the stoma. In a dessert, this would be particularly harmful to the plant, as the heat would evaporate more and more of the water, which can then escape through the stomata, dehydrating the plant.
Why is the top of a leaf darker green than the bottom?
There is more chlorophyll in the top of the leaf than there is on the bottom
Why are there more stoma on the undersides of leaves than the top?
The upper surface of the leaf is (generally) covered by a waxy layer called the cuticle, this is not a living layer, making it particularly hard for stoma to operate on the upper surface. Additionally, the upper surface of the leaf is more exposed (direct sunlight and wind) meaning that rate of evaporation would be increased. Interestingly enough some species of plants when propagated in tissue culture do actually form stoma on the upper surface of the leaf, as there is no cuticle present.
How can you tell if a cell is not from the top of a leaf or from the bottom?
the bottom will have more chlorophyll
Why is the top part of a leave darker than the bottom?
The top part of the leaf has more chlorophyll than the bottom.
What common tree leaf is found on many Canada postcards?
A tree leaf that is commonly found on publications from Canada is the Maple Leaf. This leaf is one of the more recognizable national symbols of Canada, and is also featured on their flag.
Why are stomata found on the lower side of the leaf?
Stomata are found on the lower side of the leave because they are the gateway for gas exchange, and gas surrounds the plant on all sides. If they are found more commonly on the bottom side of leaves, it is likely because the direct sunlight on superior leaf surfaces would cause increased evaporation via stomata, which i snot good for the plant.
Is there a four leaf clover in Philippines?
Yes there are 4 leaf clovers in the Philippines if you have clovers, you have 4 leaf clovers somewhere, and you have 5 leaf clovers somewhere and even sometimes 6-or-more leaf clovers. All it is, is a genetic mutation in the clover that tells the plant to grow 4 or more leafs instead of the usual 3 and its found wherever clovers are found. How do I know...? It's because I found one, lying innocently in my aunt's backyard. :)
Is the stomata on both sides of the leaf?
yes but it far more common on the underside
How are leaves involved in the root's ability to draw water into a plant?
By a process called transpiration stream. Water evaporates from pores on plant known as stoma, leaving the bottom photosynthetic layer of the leaf, the spongy mesophyll, without water. The water that has evaporated from the spongy mesophyll is replaced by water from the xylem. However, when water is pulled out of the xylem into the leaf, pressure is created in the xylem. To get rid of this pressure (kind of like a suction), more water is pulled up from lower regions in xylem.
Why is a leaf dark green on one side and light on the other?
Because the amount of chlorophyll in the top of leaf is much greater than the amount of chlorophyll in the bottom of leaf. As the chlorophyll is green in colour that's why the top portion of leaf is more green in colour.
