Which 3 processes stop if stomata is closed?
Diffusion, Respiration & Photosynthesis. These 3 processes will stop if stomata is closed.
What is the advantages of a stomata being closed at night?
Primarily, and in C3 plants, the stomata closed at night retards the loss of moisture when photosynthesis is not taking place.
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.
Which factor limits phtosynthesis when the stomata are closed?
Carbon Dioxide.
How do plants breathe at night when the stomata closed?
As humans plants also need oxygen to breathe they only take in carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis.So they wont do photosynthesis at night and so they only need to breathe. even though their stomata are closed at night some oxygen can go inside. and this is how plants breathe when their stomata are closed. pipidipo
What happens to the oxygen produced by the Calvin cycle in CAM plants during the day, when their stomata is closed?
It is widely known that CAM plants open their stomata at night time to fix the CO2 in form of organic acids. However, during the light reactions in daytime O2 is evolved while the stomata are closed and there is no way out. The question goes to the possible mechanism by which these plants can handle this high oxygen level during the daytime, while the stomata are closed. Do these plants have an oxygen accumulation and release system like that of CO2? Is such a mechanism studied or described elsewhere?
Which 3 processes stop if stomata is closed?
Diffusion, Respiration & Photosynthesis. These 3 processes will stop if stomata is closed.
When do c4 plants keep their stomata closed?
The C4 plants tend to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water.
What is the advantages of a stomata being closed at night?
Primarily, and in C3 plants, the stomata closed at night retards the loss of moisture when photosynthesis is not taking place.
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.
Are the stomata usually open or closed during photosynthesis explain?
They are usually closed during these periods so that they wont loose any water because of transpiration.
What part of the day would the stomata be closed?
midday
Will the stomata of a wilted plant be open or closed?
it is closed so no further water can be lost
Why do a leafs stomata open and close?
Changes in the osmotic potential of gaurd cells make that stomata open or closed
Which factor limits phtosynthesis when the stomata are closed?
Carbon Dioxide.
What are the openings or stomata during the hottest time of the day?
Closed.
C4 plants conserve water by?
opening their stomata and admitting C02 only at night
