Why do a leafs stomata open and close?
Changes in the osmotic potential of gaurd cells make that stomata open or closed
What's the funcion of the stoma and the guard cells in plant leaves?
Guard cells are able to control how open or closed stomata are by changing shape. The gas exchange occurs when stomata are open facilitates photosynthesis
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
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.
Plants that fix CO2 into organic acids at night when the stomata are open and carry out the Calvin cycle during the day when the stomata are closed are called?
CAM plants
If the temperature is not very hot when would stomata generally be open or closed?
That depends on whether or not the plant wants it to be open or closed.
Why do a leafs stomata open and close?
Changes in the osmotic potential of gaurd cells make that stomata open or closed
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 a plant get its gas needs for photosynthesis?
the stomata open
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 is a plant with an open stomata doing?
The plant is taking part in gas exchanges.
What type of stomata are seen in aquatic plants open or closed?
C o2
What's the funcion of the stoma and the guard cells in plant leaves?
Guard cells are able to control how open or closed stomata are by changing shape. The gas exchange occurs when stomata are open facilitates photosynthesis
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
