**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Stomata**: Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and transpiration (water vapor loss). 2. **Leaf Structure**: Leaves can have different structural adaptations based on the type of plant. The two main types of leaf structures are dorsiventral and isobilateral. 3. **Dorsiventral Leaves**: In dorsiventral leaves, which are commonly found in dicotyledonous plants (dicots), the lower surface of the leaf typically has a higher number of stomata compared to the upper surface. This adaptation helps in maximizing gas exchange while minimizing water loss. ...
