Best Answer

because when stomata open, they will take carbon dioxide in, so stoma need air space to hold carbon dioxide.

What is a pore or hole in the leaf that allows air and water vapour in or out?

Hydathode*A hydathode is actually a gland that secretes water. A pore through which water vapor leaves the leaf is a stoma (plural stomata), also called a stomate. On typical leaves, most stomata are found on the underside.You need a microscope to see stomata well. Each stoma lies between two specialized epidermal cells called guard cells.yes it is the stoma


What is the purpose of the stoma?

Note: Stoma is a term that is both common in medical as well as botanical fields.This is the MEDICAL definition of Stoma. Please refer to the related questions for the botanical definition.Answer to STOMA definitionA stoma is an artificial opening that a person is not born with. A doctor/surgeon can create/make a stoma surgically on a patient. An example of when this is done follows: If a person is suffering from colon cancer and a section of the colon has to be removed, the surgeon sometimes has to make a STOMA (artificial opening) on the abdomen of the patient so that the bowel movement has a place to leave the body while the colon is healing. Sometimes the use of a stoma is temporary like in the case of allowing the rest of the colon to rest until it is healed....however, sometimes the stoma is permanent because of the amount of involvement of cancer or whatever. In either case, it is an artificial opening.


What controls the size of the stoma opening in a leaf?

There are two guard cells on each stomate. They can open and close the pathway.


Why does the swollen cells in a stoma bend?

A stoma comprise of two cells, called gaurd cells. Each of these gaurd cellwall is thick around the pore, so when gaurd cells are swollen, these bend towards the pore making the stoma open. The bending happens due to turgidity of gaurd cell and their unequal thickness of cell wall.

What are the cells the guard the stomata?

There are a large number of tiny pores called stomata on the surface of leaves of plants (The singular of stomata is stoma).Each stomatal pore (or stoma) is surrounded by a pair of guard cells .The opening & closing of stomatal pores are controlled by the guard cells.
