What are the small green structures found on the surface of leaves called?

  1. Stamens

  2. Anthers

  3. Stomata

  4. Carpels

The correct answer is: Stomata

Stamens and carpels refer to reproductive structures found in flowers, not on the surface of leaves. Anthers are part of the stamen and do not typically appear green. Stomata, on the other hand, are small openings found on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange. These openings are usually green in color due to the presence of chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis. Therefore, option C is the correct answer for the small green structures found on the surface of leaves.
