alleryStomata 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.
