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.
What else can I help you with?
What part has more stomata?
leaf of plant Dorsal side of a leaf
What part of a leaf allows carbon dioxideoxygenand water to pass into and out of it?
The stomata allows the carbon dioxide to enter.
What part of the leaf releases water?
The stomata, which are small pores typically found on the underside of the leaf, release water vapor through a process called transpiration. This helps to regulate the water content and maintain the plant's turgidity.
3 Why is stomata commonly found on the under side part of the boat lily plant leaf?
Stomata are mainly located on the lower surface of boat lily plant leaves to reduce water loss through evaporation. This positioning helps minimize direct exposure to sunlight and wind, which can speed up transpiration and lead to dehydration in the plant. The lower surface placement also helps protect the stomata from clogging with dust or debris.
Which part of the leaf enables transpiration to take place?
Transpiration takes place through small openings on the underside of leaves called stomata. These stomata allow water vapor to exit the leaf, helping to regulate the plant's temperature and transport nutrients.
Are guard cells part of the stomata or does stomata only refer to the pore on the lower surface of the leaf?
The stomata are the pores and the guard cells control the opening and closing of these pores.
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 part of the leaf transport air to the leaf?
stomata
What part has more stomata?
leaf of plant Dorsal side of a leaf
What part of the leaf do gasses pass in and out of?
Tiny little pores on the leaf's surface called Stomata
What part of a leaf allows carbon dioxideoxygenand water to pass into and out of it?
The stomata allows the carbon dioxide to enter.
Where does most transpiration occur in a leaf?
On the bottom of the leaves. This is because Stomata, the place in the leaf were gaseous exchanges of water and carbon dioxide occur, are more common in this part of the leaf compared to the top of the leaf. This is an adaption, because if plants had all of their stomata on the top of their leaves, excessive loss of water will be lost to the environment and cause dehydration of the plant and even potential death.

What is the main part of a leaf?
The blade is said to be the main part of a leaf. Photosynthesis occurs in the blade. The leaf blade is also known as the lamina.
What part of the leaf is for gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
The stomata, which are tiny pores on the leaf surface, are responsible for gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and respiration. The opening and closing of stomata are regulated by guard cells to control the exchange of gases and water vapor.
