Day, because the water can evaporate. At night it can't because there is no light.

How many stomata are likely to open at night?
In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants. These carry out a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism, which effectively allows them to store carbon dioxide in their leaves. In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.
Why summer time of water save?
People and plants require more water during summer months. People also use more water for recreational purposes. There is also typically less rainfall during the summer, therefore greater conservation efforts are necessary.
What is Carbon 3 Plants?
You must mean....., Crassulacean acid metabolism plants. Cam 3. These plants are adapted to arid areas and keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water. At night they take in CO2 and fix it in a form called malate. Then during the day they run the photosynthetic process.
C4 plants conserve water by?
opening their stomata and admitting C02 only at night
Do plants exhale carbon di oxide at night?
Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis in plants and by dissolving in water, especially on the surface of oceans. Plants inhale carbon dioxide
Is the loss in plants greater during the day or at night?
Day, because the water can evaporate. At night it can't because there is no light.
Is water needed by a plant more during the day or night?
Pretty sure its night. During the day plants need more water because the sun is out.
Why do plants stay alive during cloudy days and at night?
They stay alive by using Dissolved oxygen of water at night and during cloudy time
When the stomata in a leaf close during the day then?
Stomata close during the night because the water will evaporate ( they do this to conserve water).
Why does the stomata of a desert plant close during the day?
In desert plants, the stomata is open during night. During night, desert plants (also called xerophytes) absorb co2 and form an intermediate. Then during day time when the stomata is closed to prevent loss of water, they use this stored carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.
Why do plants do opposite breathing at night?
Many plants, called C3 and C4 plants, open their stomas during the day to let in carbon dioxide to instigate the process of cellular respiration. However some plants called CAM plants open their stomas at night. The main reason for this process is due to the physical environment the plants are located in. The majority of CAM plants are located in hot, dry and desert environments where water is scarce. As a result the CAM plants evolved so that they could close their stomas during the day and open them at night, to help retain water, at night the plants can still absorb CO2. Some examples of CAM plants are, cacti, pineapples, and aloe.
Why do some plants open their stomata by night instead by day?
Very few of them do open at night -- In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants. These carry out a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism, which effectively allows them to store carbon dioxide in their leaves. In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.

How do plants survive with little water?
they are often C2 photosynthetic plants and this particular way of photosynthesis allows the plants to take in carbon doxide at night and keep its stomatas shut during the day so it doesn't lose water in the heat and still photosynthesize
Can water under ground in the desert dry out?
Plants that grow in arid environments have CAM pathway for photosynthesis. This means that the plants open their stomata at night time and close them during the day (more tropical plants are the reverse - open stomata during the day and close at night) so less water is lost due to evaporation in the heat of the day.
What do plants take in during respiration?
Water is taken in and utilized by plants for photosynthesis.
