Are stomata same in all plants

Open in App
Solution

Stomata refers to holes in the leaves for respiration. Stomata can be distinguished depending on the size and shape of the cells surrounding it.

The number of stomata differs from plant to plant. The number of stomata varies on the upper and lower sides of the leaves. In aquatic plants, most of the stomata lie on the upper side, that way they can breathe better.

In dicots , more stomata on the lower side of the leaves, that way they can avoid loss of water.

In monocots, the stomata number more or less equal on both sides.
