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.

The pineapple plant closes its stomata during the day and opens its stomata during the night. This process helps the plant conserve water by preventing?
transpiration.
Does the stomata close to keep the plant from losing water?
abscisic acid
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.
What gas does a plant release through its stomata during photosynthesis?
oxygen
What is the role of a stomata and guard cells?
Through the stomata carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant and oxygen and water vapor diffuse out of the plant. Guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata. Used in arid climates to control water loss for instance.
How does CO2 get into a leaf?
Through the stomata, openings in the leaf surface. By diffusion. There are three photosynthesis processes, C3, C4, and CAM. (These names describe part of the chemistry.) The desert plants (and some epiphytes) use CAM, for in this process, the stomata are closed during the day, and open at night. The plant absorbs CO2 into its system as a complex chemical (the CAM bit) over night, and during the day, the stomata close and the plant converts the CAM chemical into CO2 to be used for photosynthesis in the usual way. Normal plants open their stomata during the day, and CO2 diffuses in and O2 out.
Why does Desert plant take up carbon dioxide at night?
Unlike trees, which have leaves that open their stomata during the heat of desert days and close them during the cool of the night, the agaves and yuccas have leaves that close their stomata during the day and open them at night. The trees' leaves take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen and, wastefully, their water vapor during the hot day, as they carry out the process of photosynthesis. The thrifty agaves and yuccas, by contrast, take in - and chemically store in an organic acid - carbon dioxide and expel oxygen and water vapor at night. With dawn, when the sunlight becomes available as fuel, they close their stomata to minimize evaporation, release their carbon dioxide and proceed with photosynthesis.
The pineapple plant closes its stomata during the day and opens its stomata during the night. This process helps the plant conserve water by preventing?
transpiration.
How many stomata exactly should a rainforest plant need?
A rainfarest plant should have less stomata than a desert plant because of the humidity difference, also because rainforest plants with get rid of the stored water much more frequently than a desert plant:)
What is the breathing organ of plant?
The Stomata is the small opening on the underside of the left that allows for the absorption of CO2. A plant can open and close the stomata to help cut down on moisture loss.
How does the ability to open and close the stomata aid in the survival of the plant through different types of weather?
How does the ability to open and close the stomata aid in the suninal of he plant through different types of weather
When many animals are active and plant stomata are open in hot desert organism?
At night.
When many animals are active and plant stomata are open in hot desert organisms?
At night.
Relate transpiration to the function of a stomata?
The stomata are pores on the bottom side of leaves that allow transpiration. When the plant does not recieve enogh moisture they close and the plant wilts.
When would plant cells need to close or partially close their stomata?
At night or when there is no sunlight available.
Watering a plant will usually cause its stomata to close true or false?
true
What causes stomata to and close on a slide?
The soil around the plant is very dry
