There are _________ stomata per square cm of leaf surface in Tobacco plants?

Correct answer: C. 100,000

  • A. 1200
  • B. 12000
  • C. 100,000
  • D. 1000

Explanation

Tobacco leaves may have about 100,000 stomata per square centimetre of leaf surface, allowing substantial exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapour. Students may choose 12,000 per square centimetre because that value is a plausible stomatal density for some other plants, but it is too low for the stated textbook value for tobacco.
