Question
When we observe the lower surface of a leaf through a magnifying lens we see numerous small openings. Which of the following is the term given to such openings?
Options
Stomata
Lamina
Midrib
Veins
Solution
Stomata
Explanation:
Lamina is the green expanded part of the leaf with veins and veinlets. The midrib is a middle prominent vein. Veins provide rigidity to leaves and act as channels for the transport of water, minerals and food materials. Stomata are the minute pores usually located on the underside of the leaves and take part in the exchange of gases (02 and C02) during photosynthesis and respiration. They are surrounded by guard cells.
