Stomata cover only ______________ of leaf surface?

Correct answer: C. 1-2 %

  • A. 0.03 - 0.04%
  • B. 10%
  • C. 1-2 %
  • D. 50%

Explanation

Stomata occupy only a small fraction of the leaf surface, commonly estimated at about 1 to 2%, while still providing extensive openings for gas exchange. The likely distractor is 10%, which overestimates their area because stomata are numerous but individually very small.
