Given below are two statements: Statement I: In a dicotyledonous leaf, the adaxial epidermis general bears more stomata than the abaxial epidermis. Statement II: In a dicotyledonous leaf, the adaxially placed palisade parenchyma is made up of elongated cells, which are arranged vertically and parallel to each other. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I is True but Statement II is False
Statement I is False but Statement II is True
Both Statement I and Statement II are True
Both Statement I and Statement II are False
According to the text regarding the dorsiventral (dicotyledonous) leaf: 'The abaxial epidermis generally bears more stomata than the adaxial epidermis. The latter may even lack stomata.' Thus, Statement I is False. Regarding the mesophyll: 'The adaxially placed palisade parenchyma is made up of elongated cells, which are arranged vertically and parallel to each other.' Thus, Statement II is True.
