...s it can absorb gases directly from water through cuticle . If it is submerged leaf, no stomata will be present on both sides of it. Stoma in Greek means "mouth". Stoma Paradox As the key reactant in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, is found in the atmosphere, most plants require the stoma to be op...

In many the sporophyte acts as a separate individual, while the gametophyte remains small. The first primitive seed plants, Pteridosperms (seed ferns) and...
