as photosynthesis can only take place in day as it uses sun its source of energy ...............

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.
What time of day would you exspect the stomata on a plant to be open or closed?
at night when there is little to no light.
Does the stomata close during drought?
The stomata will mostly close during drought. The stomata are responsible for the storage of water in plants. The opening and closing of the stomata regulates the amount of water in plants.
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).
Cam plants keep stomata closed in daytime thus reducing loss of water They can do this because they?
fix CO2 into organic acids during the night
When do c4 plants keep their stomata closed?
The C4 plants tend to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water.
What are the openings or stomata during the hottest time of the day?
Closed.
Are the stomata usually open or closed during photosynthesis explain?
They are usually closed during these periods so that they wont loose any water because of transpiration.
Plants that fix CO2 into organic acids at night when the stomata are open and carry out the Calvin cycle during the day when the stomata are closed are called?
CAM plants
Why would closing their stomata during the day be an advantage for the cacti?
During mid day when the intensity of light and day temperature is higher
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.
What happens to the oxygen produced by the Calvin cycle in CAM plants during the day, when their stomata is closed?
It is widely known that CAM plants open their stomata at night time to fix the CO2 in form of organic acids. However, during the light reactions in daytime O2 is evolved while the stomata are closed and there is no way out. The question goes to the possible mechanism by which these plants can handle this high oxygen level during the daytime, while the stomata are closed. Do these plants have an oxygen accumulation and release system like that of CO2? Is such a mechanism studied or described elsewhere?
What time of day would you exspect the stomata on a plant to be open or closed?
at night when there is little to no light.
How stomata occur during night?
Stomata do not occur - during the night or day. Stomata are physical features of leaves: they are there from when the leaf is created to when it dies.
Does the stomata close during drought?
The stomata will mostly close during drought. The stomata are responsible for the storage of water in plants. The opening and closing of the stomata regulates the amount of water in plants.
Does the stomata on a leaf have to be open or closed during the Calvin benson cycle?
The stomata better be open so that plenty of carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaf and feeds into the Calvin cycle and makes sugars, specifically glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
What plants close stoma to control transpiration?
All plants use guard cells to control how long stomata should be opened or closed. CAM plants, for example, close their stomata during the day to prevent loss of water.
