Are the stoma found more on the top or bottom of a leaf?

Stomata are typically found on the bottom surface of leaves, although some plants may have stomata on both the top and bottom surfaces. This placement helps reduce water loss through transpiration, as the underside of the leaf is usually more protected from direct sunlight and wind.


What is the opening in a leaf that allows gases to pass into and out of the leaf?

The stoma (stomata)


What is the function of leaf stoma?

A stoma is used to control gas exchange -- oxygen and carbon dioxide.


What is the openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into leaves?

The stoma, or pores of a plant control all gas exchange. The stoma is found in the epidermis of the leaf.


What part of a plant controls evaporation?

Stoma of the leaf.


Why plants with stoma cannot live in desserts?

A stoma is a pore found in a leaf's epidermis. This pore is used primarily for gas exchanges (carbon dioxide/oxygen), but it also has another unavoidable function. That function is decreasing the water in the leaf. The water evaporates and leaves the leaf through the stoma. In a dessert, this would be particularly harmful to the plant, as the heat would evaporate more and more of the water, which can then escape through the stomata, dehydrating the plant.


What is the openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into the leaves?

The openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into the leaves are called stomata. Stomata are small pores primarily located on the underside of the leaf that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen.


Through which structure of a leaf is most mater vapour lost into the atmosphere?

The stoma on the underside of the leaf


Which regulates the gas movement between the environment and the leaf?

the stoma


What is the function of a stoma on a leaf?

A stoma on a leaf allows for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, during photosynthesis and respiration. It also helps regulate water loss through transpiration.


The area between the tip and the bottom of the leaf blade is called?

The surface area between the tip and the bottom of a leaf is called the lamina. The lamina is attached to the plant stem by the petiole. The lamina is supported by veins, which carry nutrients to the leaf tissue.


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
