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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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.
What part has more stomata?
leaf of plant Dorsal side of a leaf
Why do you use the lower part of the leaf to look at the stomata?
The stomata are only found on the lower face of the leaf. They connect to empty spaces within the leaf and allow exchange of gasses (CO2, O2) with the atmosphere. a process essential for photosynthesis, as well as transpiration (evaporation of water), which is critical for the proper absorbtion of nutrients through the roots (believe it or not!). These spaces do not occur on the upper (sunward) side of the leaf, because that surface is packed with photosynthetic cells.
Stomata are found on upper or lower surface in lotus leaf?

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.
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.
What side of a leaf are stomata located?
The lower surface of the leaf has the stomata. You can see the reason for this if you cut a leaf in half from upper side to lower side. The upper portion of the leaf consists of tightly packed cells that are full of chloroplasts for taking in light. The lower half of the leaf is made up of loosely arranged cells. This allows room for air to enter the lower part of the leaf through the stomata and contribute carbon dioxide and take away oxygen. The upper surface of the leaf is covered by the cuticle which prevents dehydration, as such the stomata cannot be located or function on the upper surface
What side of the leaf are stomata found?
Most stomatas are found on the bottom of a leaf, a few can be found on the top depending on the plant variety
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.
Is there a difference in the number of stomata on the upper and lower surfaces of a leaf?
Yes, there are more on the lower side than the upper. Stomata on the upper side allow water to easily escape or transpire with direct contact by the sun.
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 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.
