What happens the amount of water in a plant drops below a certain point?

The stomata closes, the prevents loss of water by transpiration


Why do plants sometimes stop photosynthesising on a hot dry day?

They do because when the weather is very hot, the stomata closes and if the stomata closes photosynthesis cannot take place: to prevent too much water from being lost


When a plant opens and closes its stomata it maintaining what?

The plant maintains a balance between water loss and carbon dioxide uptake by opening and closing its stomata. This helps regulate photosynthesis and transpiration, ensuring optimal plant growth and water conservation.


What are stomata or stomate?

Stomatastomata is a pour found on the leaf or stem of a plant which opens and closes to release water vapour and gases into the atmosphere.


When the stomata in a leaf close during the day then?

When the stomata in a leaf close during the day, it helps to reduce water loss through transpiration and conserves water within the plant. However, it can also limit the entry of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, potentially slowing down the plant's growth and metabolism.


How are the stomata controlled?

The stomata are controlled by two epidermal cells called guard cells. When water flows in, the guard cells swell up and closes the stomata. When the water leaves, it becomes flaccid and opens the stomata.


How does turgor pressure affects the opening and closing of stomata?

The stoma is "turgor operated valve". The opening and closing of stoma is regulated by the turgidity of guard cells. The stomata are open when the guard cells are turgid. On losing turgidity in guard cells, the stomata closes.


How does stomata control water loss from plants?

By closing the stomata of the plant during times when water is in short supply, there will be decreased transpiration. Transpiration is the movement of water through the plant as well as it's evaporation rate.


How the opening and closing of leaf stomata is controlled?

The stomata are controlled by two epidermal cells called guard cells. When water flows in, the guard cells swell up and closes the stomata. When the water leaves, it becomes flaccid and opens the stomata.


The pineapple plant closes its stomata during the day and opens its stomata during the night. This process helps the plant conserve water by preventing?

transpiration.


What is the openings on the underside of leaves?

stomata =Specialized passages through the cuticle that enable plants to exchange gases.


What is the small opening under a leaf called?
