Is The lower epidermis covered with cuticle?
No, the upper epidermis is covered by a cuticle.
What is the function of the plant upper epidermis?
The upper epidermis is responsible for preventing water loss by evaporation. It does this by having a waxy cuticle on the top of the leaf. The lower epidermis has stomata, which allow gases to enter and leave the leaf as a result of photosynthesis and respiration.
Why removing the lower epidermis layer of the leaf and not the upper epidermis?
because most number of stomatal pores are present on lower epidermis of leaves.
What are mesophyll?
they are one type of cells . mesophylle cells in chlorenchyma tissue has chloroplast
Why dicot leaf is known as dorsiventral leaf?
Dicot leaf is also called dorsiventral leaf as it has both dorsal and ventral side with identifiable features. The protective layer is named as Epidermis and there is both upper and lower epidermis. In dorsiventral leafs the lower epidermis which is also called abaxial side will have more number of stomata compared to the adaxial side or upper epidermis. The gap between the two epidermis is termed as mesophyll and in dicot leaf we can see a differentiated mesophyll region. The region is differentiated into palisade and spongy tissue. The region just below upper epidermis have elongated parenchyma cells with chlorophyll filled in and they are called Palisade tissues. This is the main reason behind dark green colour at upper side of a dicot leaf.
Which is the portion of the leaf between the upper and lower epidermis called?
mesopyll
Why is the upper epidermis thicker than the lower epidermis?
the epidermis is thicker.
Which is more advantageous to plants-more stomata on the upper epidermis or lower epidermis?

What is the function of the plant upper epidermis?
The upper epidermis is responsible for preventing water loss by evaporation. It does this by having a waxy cuticle on the top of the leaf. The lower epidermis has stomata, which allow gases to enter and leave the leaf as a result of photosynthesis and respiration.
Where are mesophyll cells located?
Below the upper epidermis and above the lower epidermis.
What do lower epidermis do?
protects against water loss the same as the upper epidermis do
Why removing the lower epidermis layer of the leaf and not the upper epidermis?
because most number of stomatal pores are present on lower epidermis of leaves.
What is the job of the upper and lower epidermis layers?
the upper epidermis prevents water loss while the lower allows gases to enter and exit, resulting in photosynthesis
What is the job of the upper and lower epidermis layer?
the upper epidermis prevents water loss while the lower allows gases to enter and exit, resulting in photosynthesis
