Question

Stomates of the lettuce leaf are located primarily on the lower epidermis. How is this advantageous to the plant?

Why could removing the true bark kill a tree?

Answer 1

-The stomates of the lettuce leaf being on the lower epidermis helps the plant retain water. b/c less transpiration and evaporation.

-removing the true bark will kill the tree, because the xylem and phloem are located there, thus leaving parts below without food and the parts above without water.
