Upper surface Lower surface
Plant A 12 mins 2 mins
Plant B 2 mins 2.3 mins

Find the correct conclusion
1. Plant A have more stomata on upper surface.
2. Plant B have less stomata on lower surface.
3. Plant A have less stomata on upper surface.
4. Plant B can't have equal number of stomata on both surfaces
