Identify the CORRECT pair with respect to distribution of stomata on leaves.
(A). Epistomatic - on lower epidermis
(B). Amphistomatic - on both surfaces
(C). Hypostomatic - on upper epidermis
(A). Epistomatic - on lower epidermis
(B). Amphistomatic - on both surfaces
(C). Hypostomatic - on upper epidermis
Options
- AOnly (B)
- B(A) and (C)
- COnly (C).
- D(A), (B) and (C)
Correct answer
A. Only (B)
Step-by-step solution
Epistomatic leaves have stomata present only on the upper epidermis (e.g., floating leaves of aquatic plants).
Hypostomatic leaves have stomata present only on the lower epidermis (e.g., most dicot leaves).
Amphistomatic leaves have stomata present on both the upper and lower surfaces (e.g., most monocot leaves).
Therefore, only pair (B) is correctly matched.
Answer: Only (B)
Hypostomatic leaves have stomata present only on the lower epidermis (e.g., most dicot leaves).
Amphistomatic leaves have stomata present on both the upper and lower surfaces (e.g., most monocot leaves).
Therefore, only pair (B) is correctly matched.
Answer: Only (B)
