princessazru said:Hey workinghard!! It seems your really working hard!!
I am confused with one thing!
Is it true that in xerophytes; the lower epidermis lacks stoma and has a thick cuticle whereas the upper epidermis has stoma and has a thin cuticle??? Or is it vice-versa?? If m right, is it because, the leaves roll up to save water?? In your diagrams however, everything is just opposite from that of a xerophyte. Am i right???
well in xerophytes dere r stomata on the lower side and dey r in grooves and r dus sunken... yeah leaves roll up n da outer surface is exposed which hz no stomata ... dats wat i no... i ll post some xerophyte slides 2 ... hope dey lll help!
