Experiment to Compare Stomata Density in Different Dicotyledonous Aim: To investigate if stomata density on leaves in different dicotyledonous plants is effected by there country/ eco-system of origin. I will also compare the upper and lower epidermis stomata density to see were it lies. Information on stomata and Hypothesis Based Upon this Information: Diagram 1: Structure of a leaf. The lower and upper epidermis along with the stem of a plant may contain stomata. These are openings through which gases are exchanged with the atmosphere and water is lost, this is called transpiration. Carbon dioxide is need in the process of photosynthesis.
