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

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.
Specialized structures that allow gas to enter and leave leaf?
Stomata
What structural feature allows co2 from the air to enter the leaf?
it is the stomata. it is located under the leaf and they are tiny opening in the leaves used for gas exchange
Do stomata trap sunlight for photosynthesis?
Stomata are used for gas exchange from the atmosphere, and are located on the bottom of the leaf. When open, unless it is raining, the leaf loses moisture through the stomata.
Where are the stomata located in dicot?
Underside the leaf to prevent excess transpiration

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.
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.
Specialized structures that allow gas to enter and leave leaf?
Stomata
What part has more stomata?
leaf of plant Dorsal side of a leaf
How do Lily's breath?
Using their stomata normally located under the leaf, but since the bottom of the lily pad's leaf is submerged in water, the stomata are on the top of the leaf.
Is the stomata on both sides of the leaf?
yes but it far more common on the underside

How does the lily and the lily breathe?
Using their stomata normally located under the leaf, but since the bottom of the lily pad's leaf is submerged in water, the stomata are on the top of the leaf.
How does the transpiration affects the distribution of stomata in a leaf?
plants for sake of adapation on upper side of leaf have less number of stomata for reducing the rate of transpiration compare with lowerside
Why are there more stomata on the lower side of a leaf?
Cause the plant prefers it that way?
