Stomatal density between monocot and dicot

AI Thread Summary
Dicots typically have a higher stomatal density than monocots due to their leaf structure, with stomata located on only one side of the leaf. Monocots possess stomata on both sides, which results in a smaller area for air circulation because of their dumbbell-shaped guard cells. In contrast, dicots feature kidney-shaped guard cells that facilitate more efficient gas exchange. This structural difference contributes to the overall stomatal density observed between the two plant groups. Understanding these variations can help formulate hypotheses regarding plant adaptation and efficiency in different environments.

why more stomata appears in dicot than monocot ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Note: monocots have stomata on both sides of a leaf; dicots have stomata on only one side. Monocots have dumbell shaped guard cells; dicots have kidney shaped guard cells; so generally monocot stomata have a smaller area for air circulation.

This is a homework question - I gave what you need to know to formulate a hypothesis and be able to support it.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
