Pond lilies grow leaves on the surfaces of ponds. The bottom surfaces of the leaves are in direct contact with the water. Which of the following most likely describes the stomata on pond lily leaves?
many stomata located only on the bottom surface of the leaves
few stomata located only on the bottom surface of the leaves
many stomata located only on the top surface of the leaves
few stomata located equally on the top and bottom surfaces of the leaves
Where would you MOST expect to find plants with large leaves?
under the canopy of a tropical rainforest
in a garden in direct sunlight
under the shelter of a large rock in a desert
in a tundra covered by snow and ice
The main function of stomata is to
capture sunlight
protect leaves from insects
allow gases to move rapidly in/out of leaves
release sugars into the atmosphere
Stomata are made of specialized cells called ______ which surround a tiny pore/opening
stoma
guard cells
dermal cells
diffusion channels

The purpose of the cuticle is
protect from microbes
Allow only gasses to cross the membrane
allow only water to cross the membrane
reduce evaporation
The reason plants had to develop a stomata is
they don't need it. Its a vestigial structure.
allow light into the plant
allow gases to cross the membrane
absorb water
