They facilitate gas exchange between the inside of a leaf and the outside world. Primarily releasing oxygen into the atmosphere and taking in carbon dioxide for respiration. Stomata also release water vapor and plants balance their in intake of carbon dioxide and release of water carefully.

Each stomata is surrounded bu a guard cell, these specialist cells are responsible for opening and closing the stomata depending on the needs of the plant and availability of resources

Stomata also allow in other unintended gasses such sulfur dioxide, carbom monoxide and nitrogen; gasses which have steadily increased in concentration due to the impact of humans. These can cause stunted growth, mutations and other problems with metabolic function although this varies with plant species and has not been fully investigated

Transpiration in green plants takes place through the stomata and cuticle. The stomata perform the function of gaseous exchange and during this process water vapours also get transferred due to difusion.

What tiny openings on plants leaves are called?

Tiny openings on plant leaves are called stomata. Stomata are responsible for gas exchange, allowing plants to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen and water vapor.


Which one has more stomata cactus or water lily?

Water lilies will have less. Water plants have stomata on the sides exposed to air. Or if totally submerged, there are no stomata present. A cactus is covered with stomata but not as much as average plants.


How do terrestrial plants obtain carbon dioxide?

Through respiration which takes place due to the presence of stomata in the plant body.


Do plants lose water through their stomata only when the temperature is hot?

No, plants lose water through their stomata in any condition when they are open for gas exchange. While high temperatures may increase water loss due to higher rates of transpiration, plants can also lose water through stomata during normal conditions for photosynthesis and gas exchange.
