What is the job of the stomata in photosynthesis?
Stomata open to let the leaves take in CO2 during process of photosynthesis, and allow oxygen to escape. They also allow water to escape, thus aiding sap transport. Some desert plants close their stomata during the heat of the day, and only open them at night. The CO2 they absorb during the night, they then store up, and allow photosynthesis to take place during the daylight. This is called C4 photosynthesis.
How does CO2 get to the leaf?
(brooke,13) water is soaked up through roots & carbon dioxide is just absorbed Carbon dioxide is absorbed by the following process. There is a spongy mesophyll, a loose tissue with many air spaces between its cells. These air spaces connect with the extrerior through stomata porelike openings in the underside of the leaf that allow carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf.
Is stomata and stoma the same thing?
Stroma is a fluid that is present in the chloroplast. They are like the cytoplasm of the chloroplast. Stomata is plural for Stomate, which is a pore in leaves that allows Carbon Dioxide in, and Oxygen out; It functions as a gas exchange pore.
What is the process called that allows gases in and out of plants?
Gases enter plants through the Stomata, microscopic mouth like structures on the bottoms of leaves, for the purpose of inhaling CO2 for Photorespiration.
