The lower encloses the stem like a tight case, usually open along one side. It is called the sheath.

Which part of leaf is dorsal?

The upper side of a leaf is referred to as the dorsal side. It is also known as the adaxial surface and is typically darker in color compared to the lower side, which is called the ventral side or abaxial surface.


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


External and internal part of leave?

A leaf normally consists of the following parts: the epidermis, the mesophyll, and the veins. The epidermis cover the upper and lower surfaces (the outside) of the leaf. It contains many types of cell tissues that protect against water loss, regulates the exchange of gases, secretes metabolic compounds and in some leaves controls the absorption of water. The mesophyll, or middle leaf, is where photosynthesis usually occurs. It is often made up of two layers, the palisade and the spongy layers. The veins consist of the Xylem and the Phloem tubes. The Xylem tubes carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaf and the Phloem tubes move sap out of the leaf.


What Is Another term for Skull?

Another term for "skull" is "cranium," which refers to the part of the skeleton that encloses the brain.


The flattened portion of a leaf is called?

The flattened portion of a leaf is called the blade. It is the broad, typically green part of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs.

What is the green part of a leaf is called?

The tissue in the interior of the leaf is called mesophyll which is the parenchyma, the essential tissue of plants. The mesophyll is divided into two groups inside a leaf; the palisade parenchyma wich is located on the upper part of leaf and the spongy parenchyma which is located on the lower part of leaf.

Why do you use the lower part of the leaf to look at the stomata?

The stomata are only found on the lower face of the leaf. They connect to empty spaces within the leaf and allow exchange of gasses (CO2, O2) with the atmosphere. a process essential for photosynthesis, as well as transpiration (evaporation of water), which is critical for the proper absorbtion of nutrients through the roots (believe it or not!). These spaces do not occur on the upper (sunward) side of the leaf, because that surface is packed with photosynthetic cells.

Difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the leaf?

Upper part darker, can see venation more clearly. Upper part (ventral) originates from xylem. Lower part (dorsal) originates from phloem. Do not confuse with other denominations of dorsal/ventral.


What is the green part of the leaf?

The green part of the leaf is green because of the chlorophyll inside
