Choose the correct statement with respect to terrestrial dicots.

Easy

A

Leaves of these plants have stomata either in the upper epidermis or only in the lower epidermis.
B

Leaves of these plants have stomata exclusively on the lower epidermis or more stomata in the lower epidermis than upper epidermis.
C

Stomata are exclusively present in the upper epidermis only.
D

more stomata are present in the upper epidermis than lower epidermis.

Solution

Terrestrial dicots belonging to trees, shrubs and xerophytes, the stomata are limited to only lower epidermis. In mesophytic dicot herbs, stomata are more in number in lower epidermis than upper epidermis because the ventilating spongy parenchyma is present in the abaxial surface.
