What must leaves absorb in order for plants to make their own food?
Carbon dioxide gas enter the stomata of leaves and from this, water, photons of light and a few trace minerals plants make their own food.
How do gases enter and leave plants?
In terrestrial plants, gas enters and leaves (termed "gas exchange") through cell-lined pores called "stomata." Stomata open and close in response to light and humidity, permitting oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor to enter and leave the plant. In most terrestrial plants, the stomata are located on the surface of the leaves, or in cacti, on the surface of the stems. In aquatic plants, gas exchange directly though the tissue surface.
Where does gas exchange and water loss occur in plants?
By opening and closing the stomata on the underside of the leaves.
What is the name of the gas plants release when they make food?
Carbon Dioxide
What are tiny holes in plants leaves called?
Stoma (plural stomata), they are the pores used for gas exchange.
What must leaves absorb in order for plants to make their own food?
Carbon dioxide gas enter the stomata of leaves and from this, water, photons of light and a few trace minerals plants make their own food.
What are the openings in leaves of plants that regulate gas exchange?
Stomata are the openings in leaves that (among other functions) regulate gas exchange.

What the opening in leaves?
The stoma (aka stomate) are the "pores" in the leaves and stems of plants used to control gas exchange.
Can plants obtain carbon dioxide from soil?
No they can't. They can only obtain carbon dioxide from the leaves through the gas exchange at the stoma (singular: stomata). However, plants can get water, ions, and mineral salts from the soil.
What is the function of cutin in leaves?
Cutin is a component that is found in all plants. The function of cutin in the leaves of a plant is to block water from seeping in. It is often seen as a waxy type of substance on the surface.
What kind of gas when combineswith water can burn plants and skin?
fuel gas
Why Carbon-dioxide is absorbed more by lower leaf surface?
The underside of leaves is where the 'stomata' are to be found in most (not all) plants and it is through these stomata that the gas exchange occurs. The upper surfaces of leaves are usually tough and shiny to protect the leaf and shed water. If the stomata were on the upper surface and the leaf was wet, the water would block them and impede gas exchange.
Do plants lose water through transpiration?
Transpiration is the movement of water vapor out of a plant and into the air. Water vapor is gas.
How water can become gas?
Water can become gas when it is heated to the point where it becomes steam, which is above 100 degrees Celsius. Water can also become gas through the process of evaporation, which involves either the boiling of water in a pot or kettle over an open flame or the heat of the sun hitting the leaves and stems of plants and the soil, enabling water to form a gas, rise up into the atmosphere and condense into clouds.
When water leaves a plant through the leafs does it turn into a gas instantly or does it come out a gas?
It turns into water vapor (a gas) immediately and enters the atmosphere.answ2. But there is a process called guttation in which droplets of water appear on the edges of leaves in cool mornings. there is a short wikipedia article on this, with some beaut pictures.
