Stomata are MORE numerous on which leaf surface in a dicot?
AAdaxial (upper) surface of leaf
BBoth surfaces in equal numbers
CPetiole and not lamina at all
DAbaxial (lower) surface of leaf
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Abaxial (lower) surface of leaf
Dicot (dorsiventral) leaves bear most stomata on the abaxial (lower) surface; the adaxial surface may have few or none. Monocot (isobilateral) leaves bear stomata on both surfaces equally.
