A leaf spring works by applying constant upward pressure from bent strips of steel. Multiple springs are stacked together to provide more load capacity and support.

∙ 15y agoLeaves have special kinds of cells. One type of cell controls what enters and exits the leaf. The plant uses small openings in its leaves (remember that leaves are organs in a plant) to allow gases to enter and leave. Plant cells use carbon dioxide and the energy of sunlight to make food (photosynthesis). Plant cells must also remove the oxygen (a waste product for the plant) produced in photosynthesis. As plants do photosynthesis, the cells controlling the leaf open to allow oxygen to escape. While it is open, water is also lost from the leaf.

∙ 11y agoThe leaf's Stomata opens and closes when the water within the guard cells produces a pressure called turgor [tur' ger] pressure. When the guard cells are filled with water, they are turgid [tur' jid: swollen, distended], and the Stomata are opened.

Why do a leafs stomata open and close?
Changes in the osmotic potential of gaurd cells make that stomata open or closed
Where is the stomata in hydrilla plant?
The stomata in Hydrilla mainly located in the leafs.
What is the purpose of the leafs stomata?
To allow co2, h20 and o2 to move in and out of the leaf.
What plants close stoma to control transpiration?
All plants use guard cells to control how long stomata should be opened or closed. CAM plants, for example, close their stomata during the day to prevent loss of water.
What substances pass through a leafs stomata?
Oxygen and Water (in the form of vapor)

Where is the stomata in hydrilla plant?
The stomata in Hydrilla mainly located in the leafs.
How does water get out of a plant?
Water can get out by transpiration through the leafs stomata.
Is the function of a leafs stomata?
To exchange water with the air -Gradpoint/Novanet
What is a function of a leafs stomata?
To exchange water with the air -Gradpoint/Novanet
Which 3 processes stop if stomata is closed?
Diffusion, Respiration & Photosynthesis. These 3 processes will stop if stomata is closed.
What is the purpose of the leafs stomata?
To allow co2, h20 and o2 to move in and out of the leaf.
What plants close stoma to control transpiration?
All plants use guard cells to control how long stomata should be opened or closed. CAM plants, for example, close their stomata during the day to prevent loss of water.
When do c4 plants keep their stomata closed?
The C4 plants tend to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water.
What substances pass through a leafs stomata?
Oxygen and Water (in the form of vapor)
The stomata are located in the leafs and the chloroplasts are located in the leafs?
Yes, stoma (plural Stomata) is a pore used for gas exchange found in leaves and chloroplasts, which are located in mesophyll cells, are also found in leaves. Thanks for using wiki answers!
What is a guard cell of a plants?
The guard cells flank the stomata and are the means by which the stomata are opened and closed. To take in CO2 and to expel O2 and water. Can close to conserve water if needed and this process usually happens at night when photosynthesis, the light reaction, is suspended.
