What part has more stomata?
leaf of plant Dorsal side of a leaf
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.
Where are stomata generally most abundant in the majority of leaves?
On a dorsi-ventral leaf most of the stomata are found on the lower side of the leaf, that remains away from sunlight. On an iso-bilateral leaf stomata are present on both the sides, upper as well as lower.
Is the stomata on both sides of the leaf?
yes but it far more common on the underside
Are stomata present in xerophytes?
yes stomata are present at lower side
Are their stomata on the upper leaf epidemis of rhoeo spathacea?
Yes, there are stoma present. Rhoeo leaves have dorsiventral symetry. The dorsal side being pink in color have more stomata and ventral side facing sun is green with less stomata per unit area.
Is there a difference in the number of stomata on the upper and lower surfaces of a leaf?
Yes, there are more on the lower side than the upper. Stomata on the upper side allow water to easily escape or transpire with direct contact by the sun.
What side of a leaf are stomata located?
The lower surface of the leaf has the stomata. You can see the reason for this if you cut a leaf in half from upper side to lower side. The upper portion of the leaf consists of tightly packed cells that are full of chloroplasts for taking in light. The lower half of the leaf is made up of loosely arranged cells. This allows room for air to enter the lower part of the leaf through the stomata and contribute carbon dioxide and take away oxygen. The upper surface of the leaf is covered by the cuticle which prevents dehydration, as such the stomata cannot be located or function on the upper surface

Stomata are found on upper or lower surface in lotus leaf?

Why there are more stomata in lower epidermis than in upper epidermis?
Because lower epidermis remains away from the light and in the absence of light the water loss through transpiration is minimized.
Specialized structures that allow gas to enter and leave leaf?
Stomata
Why is stomata not on the top of the leaf?
Potomageton natans is an aquatic plant and its leaves are floating on water. The upper surface of leaf being away from water has stomata for gaseous exchange from air, the lower surface remains in contact with water, therefore, stomata are present on the upper surface of these leaves.
Are stomata present in xerophytes?
yes stomata are present at lower side
