From what I know about plants, the leaves have stoma in the bottom layer. Stoma are holes, through which excess water moves out of during transpiration The weather, humidity, water potential gradients and temperature all affect transpiration rates.

Difference between dicots and monocots in terms of stomata number and distribution?

In monocot leaves stomatal distribution is almost evenly on the upper and lower surface of the leaf. In herbacious dicot stomata is distributed more on the lower surface than the upper surface. Lastly in woody dicot there is not stomatal distribution on upper surface but great distribution on lower surface of leaves.


Where are stomata generally most abundant in the majority of leaves?

On a dorsi-ventral leaf most of the stomata are found on the lower side of the leaf, that remains away from sunlight. On an iso-bilateral leaf stomata are present on both the sides, upper as well as lower.


Where are stomata located on a eucalyptus leaf?

Eucalypts are called "sclerophyllous" which means 'hard leaves'. This means they are hardy in low water conditions. They hang vertically so they are not exposed to the midday sun which reduces water loss through transpiration. For this reason many have stomata and chloroplasts on both sides of the leaf.


Do lotus leaf have stomata?

Yes, lotus leaves have stomata, but they are located on the upper surface of the leaf rather than the lower surface. This unique positioning helps reduce water loss through transpiration while still allowing for gas exchange.


Why the stomata on undersurface of leaf?

Stomata are mainly found on the undersurface of leaves to reduce water loss through transpiration. The lower surface is generally more shaded and cooler compared to the upper surface, which helps to minimize water loss by reducing the rate of transpiration. Additionally, having stomata on the undersurface can also protect the stomata from direct sunlight, preventing excess water loss.

Why Carbon-dioxide is absorbed more by lower leaf surface?

The underside of leaves is where the 'stomata' are to be found in most (not all) plants and it is through these stomata that the gas exchange occurs. The upper surfaces of leaves are usually tough and shiny to protect the leaf and shed water. If the stomata were on the upper surface and the leaf was wet, the water would block them and impede gas exchange.


Where on the plant are the stomata found?

Stomata are pores in the leaf's epidermis, or outer surface. They are used to regulate the outflow of water vapour and oxygen from the plant leaves as well as the inflow of carbon dioxide into the leaves. Stomata are normally found on the underside of the leaves (protected from direct sun and exposure to wind).

Why is stomata not on the top of the leaf?

Potomageton natans is an aquatic plant and its leaves are floating on water. The upper surface of leaf being away from water has stomata for gaseous exchange from air, the lower surface remains in contact with water, therefore, stomata are present on the upper surface of these leaves.


Why are there few stomata on the upper surface of most leaves?

small pores have on the leaves excess water transfer into the atomospehere incase there have have no the stomata (pores) on the leaf the plant will die.must the plant can must drain the water.So the stomata exist upper surface of the water.


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.
