Stomata are like pores that are meant to control water levels, especially in transpiration. The right number of stomata keeps the plant in equilibrium, too many and the plant loses too much water, drying out and dying.

How is the lost water in stomata replaced?
The guard cells of the stomata have greater osmotic pressure due to loss of water. Thus, by way of osmosis this loss is compansated continuously from the surrounding cells of the stomata.
What plant leaf is adapted to prevent water loss?
Most of their stomata are on the underside of the leaf.
Why are stomata located on the underside of the leaf?
As the upper surface is covered with a waxy cuticle which protects the plant from dehydration if the stomata were covered by a cuticle they would not be able to function.
Where does gas exchange and water loss occur in plants?
By opening and closing the stomata on the underside of the leaves.
The loss of water vapor from a plant through its stomata?
The process of water loss through the stomata of the leaves is called transpiration.The stomata of a leaf are usually found on the underside of most leaves and each consists of two curved cells. When the air is moist, these absorb moisture and become more curved, opening little holes through which air and water vapour can pass in and out. When the air is dry, the stomata close up, minimising the loss of water vapour from inside the leaf. Photosynthesis and respiration are also reduced when this occurs.
How does the stomata density affect the water loss?
When open, the stomata can release water. The more dense or larger the stomata are, the more water they can release.
What is a disadvantage of the change in size of stomata in the presence of light?
The rate of water loss will increase so it will be a disadvantage of the change in size of stomata in the presence of light.
What will happen if there are too many stomata on the top of the leaf?
Stomata are a plants way of exchanging gasses in photosynthesis. The stomata also are resoponsible for transpiration. Most plants have stomata on the under side of the leaf in order to prevent too much water loss. There already is a lot of stomata in leaves but I think you mean to ask "What would happen if the stomata were open all the time?" this would result in mass water loss and cause a plant to wilt.Edited answer:Large number of stomata will increase porocity of the leaves and will facilitate better gaseous exchange and more transpiration.
Do windy days decrease a plant's evaporative water loss?
wind at greater speeds cause the plant to close their stomata(pores underneath the leaves) to close to prevent water loss reducing transpiration. medium speeds cause plant to transpire more, because it removes more water molecules around the stomata while they stay open and it brings more CO2 to the plant. no wind speeds allow the stomata to remain open and water molecules to stay around the stomata reducing the amount of water loss, causing only some transpiration.
How is the lost water in stomata replaced?
The guard cells of the stomata have greater osmotic pressure due to loss of water. Thus, by way of osmosis this loss is compansated continuously from the surrounding cells of the stomata.

Is the loss of water from plants?
Plants lose most of their water by transpiration through the stomata of the leaves.
