Question
2.Which cells line the top of the leaf?
Solution
The cells that line the top of the leaf are called the upper epidermis cells. These cells are covered by a waxy layer known as the cuticle which helps to prevent water loss. The upper epidermis also contains specialized cells known as guard cells which control the opening and closing of stomata, small pores used for gas exchange.
