Most chlorophylls are expected on the top side of the leaf where sunlight hits directly.

Which biome has four layers?
There are five layers of the rainforest, The Emergent layer, which is the top layer. The Canopy, 2nd from the top. The Understorey, The shrub layer and Leaf litter
What is the bottom layer of a pyramid that represents ecosystem producers and its top layers represent consumers called?
The bottom layer of pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is the ecological pyramids. The top layers represent consumers. In the energy pyramid the bottom levels have more energy than the top levels.
What is an epidermal cell?
An epidermal cell is a cell that is part of the outer layer of an organism. For example, in humans, skin cells are epidermal. Leaves on plants have epidermal layers on the top and bottom of the leaf.
Is the cloroplast layer at the top or bottum of the leaf?
Chloroplast layer is present below and above of the upper and lower epidermis respectively. But more chlorophyll pigment is present on the upper layers.
Where in a leaf would you expect to find palisade cells?
On a leaf the palisade cells are located within the mesophyll layer. It is the layer that is closest to the upper epidermis of a leaf.
What is the layer of cells called on the bottom of a leaf?
The answer is no, because, on the top of a leaf there is the, cuticle, then the upper epidermis cells underneath, which you can see these, because you can see a sort of jigzaw pattern on the top of the leaf. but on the bottom of a leaf there are tiny, guard cells, a guard cell is a cell that lets in carbon dioxide to the leaf, but only on the bottom of the leaf. if you have ever wondered why a leaf is greener on the top, than the bottom of a leaf, is because, sunlight can easily reach the top of a leaf, this is called photosynthesis, but on the bottom of a leaf, it only gets sunlight from refections from the ground, because the bottom of the leaf does not have any visible contact with the sun.
Why is the top of a leaf darker green than the bottom?
There is more chlorophyll in the top of the leaf than there is on the bottom
What is they layer of tissue underneath epidermis and hypodermis?
The skin layers from top to bottom are the epidermis (top layer), dermis (middle layer), and hypodermis (bottom layer).
Why does the bottom layer of the rainforest receive less sunlight than the top layer?
Because the leaves and branches of the top layer block sunlight from reaching the bottom layer.
What is the top waxy layer of a leaf called?
The cuticle
What cells are in a layer in the top half of the leaf?
The very top of the leaf is covered by a cuticle. Directly underneath this cuticle, and underneath the whole of the upper epidermis, is the layer of chloroplasts, ont he palisade parenchyma layer.
What is the top of a leaf called?
According to biologists, the protective outer layer of a leaf is called the cuticle. Normally, the cuticle contains a waxy substance which protects the leaf from moisture loss.
How can you tell if a cell is not from the top of a leaf or from the bottom?
the bottom will have more chlorophyll
What are the layers of soil from top to bottom?
The layers of soil from the bottom, or the deepest, layer to top are
What does the cuticle in a leaf do?
The cuticle in a leaf is the waxy covering on top and bottom of the leaf. It is used to conserve water.
What are the 6 layers of soil from top to bottom?
The layers of soil from the bottom, or the deepest, layer to top are
The top of a sedimentary layer was deposited before the bottom?
Incorrect. The bottom of a sedimentary layer was deposited before the top. Imagine pouring different colors of sand in a clear vial one layer at a time and alternating colors. The color (or layer) on the bottom of the vial was deposited by you very first and the layer on top was last to be deposited.
