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.

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.

How does lower epidermis adapt to do it job in the leaf?

In dicot plants the lower epidermis is frequently ruptured by stomata and thus helps in gaseous exchange and transpiration.


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.


How do you draw and label each part of leaf?

Can't draw a diagram for you but, from top to bottom: cuticle-waxy substance secreted by epidermis cells that waterproofs the leaf upper epidermis-closely fitted together like a jigsaw. no chlorophyll palisade layer-where most photosynthesis occurs. chlorophyll present spongy layer-gases diffuse through this layer. chlorophyll present lower epidermis (contains stomata)-like upper epidermis. stomata contain chlorophyll


Where is the location of the stomata?

stomata is present on a leaf's lower surface. but in plants that float on water, stomata is present on a leaf's upper surface, and the lower surface is protected by a coating of wax.


Why there are more stomata in lower epidermis than in upper epidermis?

Because lower epidermis remains away from the light and in the absence of light the water loss through transpiration is minimized.
