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.

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.


Number of stomata in upper and lower surface of leaf of hibiscus?

There are about 92 stomatas on upper surface and 39 stomatas on the lower surface. In a dorsiventral leaf number of stomata is more on the lower surface hence the above answer may please be verified


Where are the stomata located on the lower surface of a leaf?

The stomata are located on the lower surface of a leaf.


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.


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.


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.


Is stomata found on lower or upper surface of leaves?

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.


Which plants have stomata at their lower portion?

terrestrial plants


What is the difference in albedo between water and land surfaces?

The difference in albedo between water and land surfaces is that water has a lower albedo, meaning it reflects less sunlight and absorbs more heat compared to land surfaces. Land surfaces have a higher albedo, reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat.


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.


Are stomata present in xerophytes?

Yes, xerophytes have stomata. However, they typically have adaptations to help reduce water loss through transpiration, such as sunken stomata or hairs around the stomata to create a humid microenvironment.


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.
