State the function of the structures called stomata that are present in leaf epidermis?
The leaf surface has many tiny apertures called stomata. During respiration oxygen from the atmosphere diffuses into the stomata and then into the cells of the leaf. When carbon dioxide concentration in the cells increases, the stomata opens and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Why stomata are present only on lower epidermis in nerium leaf?
as nerium is a xerophyte i.e.as it cannot take in sufficient amount of needed water,the sunken stomata are present in the lower epidermis to reduce loss of water by transpiration.there are also certain hair present in the sunken stoma to protect it.
How does the epidermis of the root differ from the epidermis of the stem in structure and function?
"As you recall, epidermis (1) is the outermost cell layer of leaves, roots and stems. Unlike the root epidermis, stem and leaf epidermis contain stomata (more on stomata when we discuss photosynthesis). In many plants, leaf and stem epidermis is covered by a wax-like layer of cutin, which protects the plants from excessive water loss, and from pathogen attack."
Which is more advantageous to plants-more stomata on the upper epidermis or lower epidermis?
upper epidermis for sure>>>
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.
Are stomata found in a leaves epidermis?
Yes, stomata are found in the lower epidermis of leaves in most plants. They are necessary for gas exchange, allowing the plant to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen and water vapor.
Gaseous exchange occurs in plants through these structures in the epidermis?
stomata
Why are stomata absent or present in low numbers in the upper epidermis?
To minimize the rate of transpiration
What are stomata and what are they?
exchange of gases takes place by simple diffusion directly into each cell through the openings present in epidermis called stomata. Stomata are found on the underside of leaves. :)
Gaseous exchange occurs in plants through these strutures in the epidermis?
The structure in the epidermis that gaseous exchange occurs in plants is through the stomata. A stomata is a tiny opening or pore in the epidermis.
Why stomata are present only on lower epidermis in nerium leaf?
as nerium is a xerophyte i.e.as it cannot take in sufficient amount of needed water,the sunken stomata are present in the lower epidermis to reduce loss of water by transpiration.there are also certain hair present in the sunken stoma to protect it.
Which part of a plant has stomata?
It is a pore,large numbers of which are present in the epidermis of leaves (especially on the undersurface) and young shoots

In many plants, leaf and stem epidermis is covered by a wax-like layer of cutin, which protects the plants from excessive water loss, and from pathogen attack."
Why removing the lower epidermis layer of the leaf and not the upper epidermis?
Removing the lower epidermis layer allows for easier observation of stomata and overall leaf structure. Stomata are mostly located on the lower epidermis, which regulates gas exchange for photosynthesis. Additionally, removing the upper epidermis may damage the leaf's cuticle, which can affect its ability to retain water.
Which is more advantageous to plants-more stomata on the upper epidermis or lower epidermis?
upper epidermis for sure>>>
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.
Epidermis is modified in a root by the addition of?
Stomata
What are the pores in the epidermis called?
It is called the stomata.
