Number of stomata in upper and lower surface of leaf of hibiscus?

There are about 92 stomatas on upper surface and 39 stomatas on the lower surface. In a dorsiventral leaf number of stomata is more on the lower surface hence the above answer may please be verified


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


Which type of lichen forms a somewhat leaf like mat?

Foliose lichens form a somewhat leaf-like mat due to their flattened, leafy structure. They have distinct upper and lower surfaces, with the upper surface often being a different color or texture than the lower surface.


Why are the photosynthetic cells mainly on the upper side of a leaf?

Photosynthetic cells are mainly on the upper side of a leaf because they can receive more sunlight there, which is essential for photosynthesis. This positioning maximizes the absorption of sunlight for energy production and allows the plant to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Placing the photosynthetic cells on the upper side also helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.


The portion of the leaf between the upper and lower epidermis is called the?

The portion of the leaf between the upper and lower epidermis is called the mesophyll. It is where photosynthesis primarily takes place, with the palisade mesophyll located closer to the upper surface for maximum light absorption and the spongy mesophyll situated beneath for gas exchange.
