Which of these statements is true about the lower epidermis?

Choose 3 answers

It contains the stomata

It is full of chloroplasts

It is important the stomata within this layer can open and close at different times

This layer helps to control gas exchange between the leaf and its surroundings

It is on the upper side of the leaf
