Question

Unlike many plants, the stomata of the water lilies are found on the upper surface of the leaves. Suggest a possible reason for this adaptation.

Answer 1

Answer:

All plants need stomata on the surfaces of their leaves for photosynthesis. ... The stomata of water lilies are on the upper surface of their leaves, maximizing air exposure. Stomata on the underside of the leaves would be wasteful because water contact interferes with the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

mark me brainliestt :))

Answer 2

Answer:

Because the upper surface of the water lillies are not immersed in water.

Explanation:

Since the stomata is an opening for water to be excreted, the water lillies (which are usually found in water) need a surface which is not in contact with water so as the release the water as a metabolic waste. And since the lower surface of the water lilly's surface is immersed in water, there will be no point to excrete the water.
