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.


Does the stomata close during drought?

Yes, during a drought, plants close their stomata to conserve water and prevent excessive water loss through transpiration. This helps the plant maintain its hydration levels and survive the dry conditions.


How does the stomata density affect the water loss?

Stomata density directly affects the rate of transpiration (water loss) in plants. Higher stomata density means more openings for water vapor to escape, leading to increased water loss. Conversely, lower stomata density reduces the rate of transpiration and helps plants conserve water.


Is the loss of water from plants?

Plants lose most of their water by transpiration through the stomata of the leaves.


Can you give me sentence with the word stomata and transpiration?

Transpiration is the process by which plants give out water through the stomata.


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.


What holes evaporate water from the leaves of plants?

they are called stomata


Which plants have sunken stomata?

generally xerophytic plants have sunken stomata


Where do plants have holes called stomata- which allow excess water to escape?

Plants have stomata on the surface of their leaves. Stomata are small openings surrounded by specialized cells that regulate gas exchange and water loss. This allows for excess water to escape in the form of vapor during transpiration.


Evaporation of water through the stomata?

Evaporation of water through the stomata is called transpiration. It is a natural process where water vapor escapes from the plant leaves through small openings, the stomata. This loss of water helps plants cool down and facilitates the movement of nutrients and water from the roots to the leaves.


Why don't plants keep their stomata open all the time?

Plants do not keep their stomata open all the time because it would lead to excessive water loss through transpiration. Stomata need to close to prevent dehydration and maintain proper water balance within the plant. Additionally, closing stomata helps plants conserve energy and regulate gas exchange more efficiently.


Do Humans transpirate?

Transpiration is the evaporation of cellular water (in the form of water vapour) from the stomata in the leaves of PLANTS. Humans are NOT plants.
