which part of a leaf is commonly used for preparing the slide of stomata
Answers
Stomata are small mouth like openings present on the outer most layer of leaf called Epidermis.
These small openings are abundantly present on the lower side of a leaf and opens during day time in the presence of sunlight and perform gaseous exchange.
These cells are surrounded by two bean shaped structures or cells are called guard cells which controls their opening and closing.
Stomata is a small opening or pore that is specially meant for exchange of gas.
The pores are commonly found under the surface of the leaves.
Epidermal part is taken for the purpose of slide preparation.
The leaf has an outer layer called the epidermal, which is at the place where stomata cells are found in plenty.
Few drops of safranin stain and one drop of glycerin are used for the preparation of slide sequentially.
