Why must a plant have its stomata open at least part of the time?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Stomata need to open to allow the air to flow in and out. This means the carbon dioxide used in photosynthesis can be replaced and the oxygen produced by photosynthesis can leave the leaf.

What is a plant with an open stomata doing?
The plant is taking part in gas exchanges.
Why is water loss in leaves of a plant unavoidable?
Because the Stomata on the underside of the leaf have to open (so stomata are turgid) to allow for the exchange of CO2 and O2 so photosynthesis can occur. As this process takes place water diffuses out of the stomata.
Why does the stomata of a plant open after the plant has been watered?
because of "transpiration" - the plant releases water vapor from the stomata, thus making underpressure in its vessels, thus the water gets sucked in to roots from the soil.
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.
What job does a stomato cell do?
Stomate? The only thing that comes to mind is the word STOMATA. IF that's what your talking about, a stomate must be ONE ...stomate....whereas stomata are a pair of stomates.. Assuming the above...Stomata are found on the undersurface(?) or maybe the top surface of leaves. For a visual, think of two parentheses...( ). If there is a DRY period the stomata CLOSE () to prevent the plant from losing water and open when the plant has to release water. Basically, the opening and closing to the TWO stomates, acting together, (stomata) regulates transpiration through the leaves of a plant. Hope that's what you were talking about. Open ( ) Closed
How does a plant get its gas needs for photosynthesis?
the stomata open
What is a plant with an open stomata doing?
The plant is taking part in gas exchanges.
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.
Why do leaves stomata shut at night?
They shut because with the stomata open it is too drafty and the plant can't get to sleep.
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 the plant has enough waterwhat swells up and pulls open the stomata so the plant can breath?
The guard cells of the stomata swell to form the stomatal pore
What happens when the stomata on a plant's leaves are open?
Stomata, which are holes in the epidermis of plants, allow for gas exchange and the passage or retention of water for the plant. Stomata enable respiration (gas exchange) in plants that provides for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces food for the plant from the transformation of oxygen from carbon dioxide, via the stomata as the pathway into the plant. Stomata also allows the passage of water into the plant (Transpiration), since the leaves are mostly covered by wax (the cuticle). Water can enter the vascular system, transporting nutrients and such to the rest of the plant. The stomata can also retain water in case of a shortage of water, like a drought, and prevent water loss, enabling the plant to survive longer.-Katydid2014Stomata are tiny holes on the bottom of a leaf. They open and close depending on the situations surrounding the plant. When the stomata are open, water is lost from the plant through evapotranspiration, which is when they evaporate from the surface of the leaf. The stomata close at a certain period of time in order to keep this water in. The stomata also open in order to let more carbon dioxide in, which is needed for photosynthesis. For example, if there is an increase in light around the plant, the stomata will open more often for photosynthesis, and will lose more water from the plant.
When a plant has enough water the what swells and pull open the stomata so the plant can breathe?
