Is tulsi leaf simple or compound?
Simple it doesn't have leaflets coming off of a stem!
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

Photosynthesis requires chlorophyll but some of the coleus leaves turn out purple Why did this happen?
This results from the combinations of chlorophylls and anthocyanin (red) pigments. Leaves of the Coleus have the same pigment combination throughout the leaf.
What are the hairs on the leaf of the water fern for?
The submerged leaf filaments are covered with brown hairs which function as roots for water and nutrients absorption. Sporocarps(i) are borne on submerged leaf filaments.
How does vaseline on the lower surfaces of the leaves affect them?
A leaf covered with vaseline on the lower surface wont have any affect as the stomata are being covered with the vaseline but if it were on the upper surface it would shrivel because When a leaf is loosing a lot of water vapor , it exposes the least amount of surface area to evaporation so it shrivels.
