What else can I help you with?
What side of the leaf are stomata found?
Most stomatas are found on the bottom of a leaf, a few can be found on the top depending on the plant variety
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
Would you expect a coating of frost to be thicker on the topside or bottom side of a plant leaf on a clear and calm night?
You would expect the frost coating to be thicker on the top side of the leaf. This is because cold air sinks, causing the top side to lose heat and cool more quickly, leading to a more significant frost formation compared to the bottom side of the leaf.
What is the layer of cells called on the bottom of a leaf?
The answer is no, because, on the top of a leaf there is the, cuticle, then the upper epidermis cells underneath, which you can see these, because you can see a sort of jigzaw pattern on the top of the leaf. but on the bottom of a leaf there are tiny, guard cells, a guard cell is a cell that lets in carbon dioxide to the leaf, but only on the bottom of the leaf. if you have ever wondered why a leaf is greener on the top, than the bottom of a leaf, is because, sunlight can easily reach the top of a leaf, this is called photosynthesis, but on the bottom of a leaf, it only gets sunlight from refections from the ground, because the bottom of the leaf does not have any visible contact with the sun.
Why leaves shiny on the top side and dull on the bottom side?
Leaves are shiny on the top side due to the presence of a waxy cuticle that helps to prevent water loss and protect the leaf from pests and pathogens. The bottom side of the leaf is usually duller to allow for more efficient gas exchange with the surrounding environment through tiny pores called stomata.
Which layer is at the top or the bottom of the leaf?
The top layer of the leaf is called the epidermis, which contains the outermost protective layer of cells. The bottom layer is typically the lower epidermis, which contains stomata for gas exchange and specialized cells for support.
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
What does the cuticle in a leaf do?
The cuticle in a leaf is the waxy covering on top and bottom of the leaf. It is used to conserve water.
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 is different between the top and bottom side of an earthworm?
how can you distinguish between the top and bottom side of an earthworm
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.
What is the bottom of a leaf called?
The bottom of a leaf is called the abaxial surface. It is typically lighter in color than the top of the leaf and may have different characteristics, such as more stomata for gas exchange.
