Carbon Dioxide from the air and goes into a leaf through the stomata; most are located underneath the leaf.

add There are two different photosynthesis paths, called C3 and C4 after the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.

There is a third photosynthesis pathway, called CAM, after an acid used in the pathway. This is used by desert plants and perching plants, both of which face shortages of water.

In these plants the stomata open at night and store the CO2, then close the stomata during the day (so as to conserve water) and use the sunlight to split the water into O and H.

Simple diffusion is the process by which the CO2 reaches inside of the leaf. If the air in the leaf becomes lower in CO2, (because it was absorbed) the diffusion process itself will remedy the defect.

How does most carbon dioxide reach the photosynthesising cells of a green leaf?

diffusion though the stomata


Contrast the manner in which water reaches the inside of a leaf with the manner in which carbon dioxide reaches the inside of a leaf?

It depends on the plant. If you're talking about, say, a tree, the water is carried up from the soil. That's why you water a houseplant. Carbon dioxide enters through holes in the bottom of the leaf called stomata.


Why does the part of leaf inside the bottle containing potassium hydroxide solution not get carbon dioxide?

i don`t no


When there is a low amount of carbon dioxide inside the leaf does the stoma open or shut?

probably means it is shut. since carbon dioxide goes through the stomata and is necessary for photosynthesis then if there is a low amount of it in the leaf then the stomata must be shut
