The stoma, or pores of a plant control all gas exchange. The stoma is found in the epidermis of the leaf.

What are the openings in the epidermis of a plant that allow air and water to pass in and out of the leaf?
Yes, the stomata, which are pores in the lower epidermis of the leaf and are surrounded by 2 guard cells, open in the day to let in CO2 for photosynthesis but they also release H2O as water vapour and they close at night to reduce water loss.
What guard cells guard?
They are the pair of cells that surround the stomata (pores on the underside of leaves) They can change shape to open or close the stomata. Most plants open their stomata during the day (to allow co2 to enter for photosysthis) and close them at night. However cacti open their stomata during the night to reduce water loss, and have to use stored co2 for photosysthesis.
Where does water vapor exit and CO2 enter a leaf?
There are openings on the underside of a leaf called stomates. They have guard cells shaped like lips. They open and close to allow CO2 in and H2O and O2 out. It works using hydrostatic pressure.
What structural feature allows co2 from the air to enter the leaf?
it is the stomata. it is located under the leaf and they are tiny opening in the leaves used for gas exchange
What are 3 adaptations of leaves for photosynthesis?
1 leaves have larger surface area so they can absorb light from sun 2 they are thin so light can pass into them easily 3 the cells of leaves have chloroplast which absorb light energy
What is the openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into leaves?
The stoma, or pores of a plant control all gas exchange. The stoma is found in the epidermis of the leaf.
What is amphistomatous?
Amphistomatous describes a certain type of leaf morphology in drought adapted plants. These plants have stomates (the openings in the epidermis which allow CO2 to diffuse into the leaf) on both sides of the leaf.

Yes, the stomata, which are pores in the lower epidermis of the leaf and are surrounded by 2 guard cells, open in the day to let in CO2 for photosynthesis but they also release H2O as water vapour and they close at night to reduce water loss.
How tree breathes?
Trees "breathe" CO2 (carbon dioxide) through extremely small openings between the plants cells on the bottom of the leaf, called stomata (stoma singular). Through the same stomata O2 leaves the leaf.
What substance do leaves of plants take in to help them make chemical energy?
Photons of light to strike the pigment chlorophyll that is in the chloroplasts of the leaf. Carbon dioxide for the synthesis of sugars. This gas, CO2, is taken in through the stomata openings on the leaf surface.

Where does CO2 enter on a leaf during photosynthesis?
CO2 enters through stomata. They are tiny pores on leaves.
How do gases enter and escape from leaves?
Gases enter and exit a leaf through stomata. These are openings in the epidermis which are regulated by guard cells. Guard cells decide which gases can go in and out. The gas that goes in is carbon dioxide and the gas that goes out it oxygen.
How could a green cell in the leaf obtain carbon dioxide from the air?
Through the stomata, (holes in leaf epidermis) these holes have guard cells which open and close and allow CO2 to enter the plant. The CO2 is then filtered through the spongy mesophyll where it can then be accesssed.

There are openings on the underside of a leaf called stomates. They have guard cells shaped like lips. They open and close to allow CO2 in and H2O and O2 out. It works using hydrostatic pressure.
What will the plant use in breathing?
Plants breath through the stomata, which are tiny openings on the leaves. They breath the opposite of how humans breathe.
What structural feature allows co2 from the air to enter the leaf?
it is the stomata. it is located under the leaf and they are tiny opening in the leaves used for gas exchange
