Water lilies will have less. Water plants have stomata on the sides exposed to air. Or if totally submerged, there are no stomata present. A cactus is covered with stomata but not as much as average plants.

Why do lotus and water lily have stomata on the upper surface of the leaf?

The stomata have to be able to access air easily as its purpose is to take in and give out carbon dioxide oxygen. Since both the water lily and lotus are water plants partially submerged in water, air would be more easily accesible from the upper surface.


Where are the stomata on cactus?

The stomate are located in the same place as other plants, leaf and stems. Their stomate are much smaller and sometimes sunken deeper into the surfaces to help keep water loss at a minimum. Also, the stomate on catus only open at night when it is cool outside.


How does the stomata density affect the water loss?

Stomata density directly affects the rate of transpiration (water loss) in plants. Higher stomata density means more openings for water vapor to escape, leading to increased water loss. Conversely, lower stomata density reduces the rate of transpiration and helps plants conserve water.


Why does the cactus make more use of dew than the mesquite bush?

The mesquite (Nahuatl mizquitl) draws on three sources of water whereas a cactus depends mainly on one.Specifically, the cactus depends upon water vapor taken in by the stem's pores and moisture taken up through its roots. The mesquite also takes in water vapor by its stomata, and soil moisture through its roots. But additionally, it has a 190 foot/58 meter long taproot that draws moisture from the water table. The plant can coordinate the use of all sources, or switch suddenly back and forth in its reliance. Consequently, the mesquite makes more water droplets than the cactus.

How often to water yucca cactus growing outdoors?

First off, the yucca is not a cactus. It is more closely related to the lily than a cactus. If you live in a desert climate, once it has become established it should survive with little watering. If your area has received little rainfall you may give it a good watering a couple times per month. Be careful, however, to not over water and water very little in winter or the plant may be killed by root rot.


How do deep roots help the cactus?

Why does a cactus planted in the ground outdoors will need more water than a cactus in a pot inside?

inside the weather conditions are more controlled than outside. the cactus usually get larger outside


Why does having too much stomata increase water loss?

Stomata are like pores that are meant to control water levels, especially in transpiration. The right number of stomata keeps the plant in equilibrium, too many and the plant loses too much water, drying out and dying.


How much water a plant need to growe?

That depends on what kind of plant it is. Some plants, such as cactus, do not need much water. Other kinds of plants need more. So you would have to ask about a specific plant in order to get a specific answer.It really depends on the plant. Some plants need more water than others, such as a cactus and a bean ,the bean needs more water than the cactus because the cactus stores water and beans don't.


Why are there more stomata on the lower side of a leaf?

Stomata are more abundant on the lower surface of a leaf to minimize water loss due to transpiration. This positioning helps to reduce the exposure of stomata to direct sunlight and hot, dry air, thereby conserving water within the plant. Additionally, having more stomata on the lower side also helps with efficient gas exchange for photosynthesis.


Why does a cactus planted in the ground outdoors would need more water than a cactus in a pot inside?

Because a cactus outside in the ground doesn't get all the water you give it, some will get absorbed by other plants.
