Wind blows away a humid layer of air (boundary layer) from around the leaves, which increases osmosis due to a greater concentration difference between the drier outside air and inside the leaf.

Where the substance goes to when it moves out of the chloroplast?

The substances go either into the air, or is absorbed Oxygen is diffused by the stomata and released] I am not actually sure about Glucose and Water but I think water evaporates into the air and glucose.. I don;t really know Anywhoo I hope this helped baby


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.


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.


How does carbon dioxide and water reach the chloroplast in leaves?

The chloroplasts in the leaves absorb the light directly from the sun. The carbon dioxide goes into the leaves through the stomata (tiny holes on the bottom of a leaf) and is diffused through the rest of the cells. The water is absorbed by the roots then carried by the xylem up to the leaf and the cells in the leaf.


Do lilacs have deep set stomata in its cuticle?

Lilacs (Syringa) generally have stomata that are not deeply set in their cuticle. Instead, these stomata are typically located on the leaf surface and are surrounded by a protective cuticle that helps reduce water loss. The positioning of the stomata allows for gas exchange while still providing some protection from environmental stressors. Overall, lilacs have a structure that balances gas exchange and water conservation.


What is sunken stomata?

Sunken stomata are like normal stomata except they are literally sunken into the leaf a few micrometres. they are usually in a little chamber- imagine a tiny C shape cut into the leaf, and the stomata being on the inside curve of the the C, and the ends of the C being the outside of the leaf. they help prevent transpiration and loss of water vapour as they are more protected from external conditions that speed up transpiration such as winds than stomata which aren't sunken. sunken stomata are usually protected by hairs in the chambers, and these hairs are called trichomes. they trap the water vapour, whcih also helps prevents water loss.


Do lotus leaf have stomata?

Yes, lotus leaves have stomata, but they are located on the upper surface of the leaf rather than the lower surface. This unique positioning helps reduce water loss through transpiration while still allowing for gas exchange.


When do c4 plants keep their stomata closed?

C4 plants keep their stomata closed during hot and dry conditions to reduce water loss through transpiration. By keeping their stomata closed during these times, C4 plants can minimize water loss while still being able to carry out photosynthesis efficiently using their unique carbon fixation pathway.


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.


Why does stomata close under strong sunlight?

Stomata close under strong sunlight to prevent excessive water loss through transpiration and to protect the plant from drying out. Closing the stomata reduces the amount of water vapor that can escape from the leaf surface, helping the plant conserve water.


What is the most likely outcome if drops of salt water are added on top of stomata?

The most likely outcome of adding drops of salt water on top of stomata is that the salt water will disrupt the normal function of the stomata, potentially leading to the stomata closing and affecting the plant's ability to exchange gases and regulate water loss.


What does water move through in the stomata?

Water moves through the stomata in the form of water vapor during the process of transpiration. This movement occurs through a combination of diffusion and osmosis in the cells surrounding the stomata, allowing water to evaporate from the plant's surface.
