Please.

Answer 2

Answer:

Among the given statements the first statement, option a) The upper epidermis contains a very large number of stomata is incorrect.

Explanation:

The leaf surface has two types of epidermal layers, that is the lower and the upper epidermis. The upper epidermis or the upper epidermal layer contains very few to no stomata, whereas in contrast, the lower epidermis contains a numerous or significant amount of stomata for gaseous exchange and transpiration. Therefore first statement here is incorrect.

Other features of the upper epidermis include:

Presence of single-layer arrangement of cells having very few to no chloroplasts.

Also, the upper epidermal layer persists a wavy, waterproof coating to prevent any transpiration or water loss from the upper surface.

Hence the other two statements are correct.
