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 else can I help you with?
Would you expect a coating of frost to be thicker on the topside or bottom side of a plant leaf on a clear and calm night?
You would expect the frost coating to be thicker on the top side of the leaf. This is because cold air sinks, causing the top side to lose heat and cool more quickly, leading to a more significant frost formation compared to the bottom side of the leaf.
Is the stomata on both sides of the leaf?
No, stomata are typically found on the underside of the leaf. This positioning helps reduce water loss through transpiration by minimizing exposure to direct sunlight and wind. Having stomata on the lower surface also increases the efficiency of gas exchange for photosynthesis.
Where on the leaf is the stomata found and how to prove that?
Stomata are found on the underside of plant leaves. To prove this, you can use a microscope to observe and identify the stomata on a leaf's underside. Staining techniques can also be employed to make the stomata more visible for identification.
Why are stomata found on the lower side of the leaf?
Stomata are found on the lower side of the leave because they are the gateway for gas exchange, and gas surrounds the plant on all sides. If they are found more commonly on the bottom side of leaves, it is likely because the direct sunlight on superior leaf surfaces would cause increased evaporation via stomata, which i snot good for the plant.
Why is the stomata at the top for xerophytes?
Stomata are located on the top surface of xerophyte leaves to minimize water loss by reducing exposure to direct sunlight and wind. Placing stomata on the top surface helps create a more humid microenvironment around the stomata, reducing water loss through transpiration. This adaptation is crucial for xerophytes living in dry environments with limited water availability.
Why are there more stoma on the bottom of the leaf?
to preserve water
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.
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
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
Which type of leaf is more commonly found in the forests: aspen leaf or birch leaf?
Birch leaves are more commonly found in forests compared to aspen leaves.
What is the bottom of a leaf called?
The bottom of a leaf is called the abaxial surface. It is typically lighter in color than the top of the leaf and may have different characteristics, such as more stomata for gas exchange.
Why is the top part of a leave darker than the bottom?
The top part of the leaf has more chlorophyll than the bottom.
What common tree leaf is found on many Canada postcards?
A tree leaf that is commonly found on publications from Canada is the Maple Leaf. This leaf is one of the more recognizable national symbols of Canada, and is also featured on their flag.
Are their stomata on the upper leaf epidemis of rhoeo spathacea?
Yes, there are stoma present. Rhoeo leaves have dorsiventral symetry. The dorsal side being pink in color have more stomata and ventral side facing sun is green with less stomata per unit area.
Why are there more stoma on the undersides of leaves than the top?
The upper surface of the leaf is (generally) covered by a waxy layer called the cuticle, this is not a living layer, making it particularly hard for stoma to operate on the upper surface. Additionally, the upper surface of the leaf is more exposed (direct sunlight and wind) meaning that rate of evaporation would be increased. Interestingly enough some species of plants when propagated in tissue culture do actually form stoma on the upper surface of the leaf, as there is no cuticle present.
How are leaves involved in the root's ability to draw water into a plant?
By a process called transpiration stream. Water evaporates from pores on plant known as stoma, leaving the bottom photosynthetic layer of the leaf, the spongy mesophyll, without water. The water that has evaporated from the spongy mesophyll is replaced by water from the xylem. However, when water is pulled out of the xylem into the leaf, pressure is created in the xylem. To get rid of this pressure (kind of like a suction), more water is pulled up from lower regions in xylem.
Is there a four leaf clover in Philippines?
The four leaf clover (Trifolium repens) is not native to the Philippines, as it is typically found in regions with temperate climates. However, it is possible for four leaf clovers to be found in the Philippines if they are cultivated or imported. The rarity of finding a four leaf clover in the wild in the Philippines would be significantly higher compared to regions where they are more common.
