That depends on whether or not the plant wants it to be open or closed.

Would the stomata open or close if the CO2 concentration decrease?

Opening and closing of stomata is regulated by concentration of water in guard cells. When transpiration is required, water reaches the guard cells and they swell up. This opens the stomata's pore. When they are not required to be opened, water is not present in guard cells and they shrink causing stomata's pore to close.


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.


Why do some plants close their stomata at night?

At night, there is no light, therefore no photosynthesis (which is the process of making energy from light). Photosynthesis uses CO2, however since photosynthesis is not occurring at night, there is no need to acquire CO2.Some plants (CAM plants) only open their stomata at night, however, in order to take in CO2 and store it until it is light and they can use photosynthesis then. This helps to eliminate water loss through the stomata which would occur more rapidly if the stomata were open during a hot day. (therefore, most CAM plants are found in desserts and such)


Which physiological adaptation would decrease the process of transportation in a plant?

Closing stomata would decrease the process of transportation in a plant by limiting the exchange of gases (such as carbon dioxide and oxygen) and water vapor with the environment. This would reduce transpiration and nutrient uptake.


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 part of the day would the stomata be closed?

midday


Why are stomata's in the lower epidermis but not in the upper epidermis?

The explanation lies in how the stomata works. They regulate any gases that pass through them. When the temperature is too hot, it will close to conserve water vapor but this will block CO2 coming in also. Therefore plants don't want to have their stomata closed all the time nor opened all the time. Sunlight hits the top of the leaves and therefore the temperature and light intensity is higher on the top surface of the leaves. If many stomata were to be located on the top, the plant would loose much of its water and when the stomata closes to conserve water, it won't get as much CO2. Therefore for most plants, the stomata stay on the bottom where the temperature is a bit cooler. Also it is protected from the wind since wind can cause evaporation of water.


Why would the stomata be in particular be effected if a plant is not watered?

as the stomata is responsible in gas exchange, and it constantly looses water through it the stomata would die out


Why would closing their stomata during the day be an advantage for the cacti?

During mid day when the intensity of light and day temperature is higher


What would happen if the stomata were smaller?

If the stomata were smaller then CO2 would diffuse into the cell less rapidly.


What do you think would happen if a plant had no stomata?

If a plant did not have stomata on the bottom of its leaves, water and oxygen leaving the plant would not be regulated.
