As the day heats up, the guard cells will close the stomata to prevent water loss due to transpiration. When this happens, the rate of photosynthesis decreases in order to help preserve the water inside the leaves of the plant.
Open stomata allow for the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, between the plant and the environment. Closed stomata restrict this exchange, helping to regulate the amount of water loss and gas exchange in plants.
No, plants require open stomata to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Without the exchange of gases through the stomata, the plant cannot produce food efficiently.
The three processes that stop when stomata are closed are photosynthesis, transpiration, and gas exchange. Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that regulate the movement of gases into and out of the plant. When stomata are closed, these processes are significantly reduced or halted.
In desert plants, the stomata is open during night. During night, desert plants (also called xerophytes) absorb co2 and form an intermediate. Then during day time when the stomata is closed to prevent loss of water, they use this stored carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.
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
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.
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?
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 (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants. CAM plants have adapted their carbon fixation process to avoid water loss during the day by keeping stomata closed, and perform photosynthesis during the night when conditions are cooler and less water loss occurs.

Open stomata allow for the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, between the plant and the environment. Closed stomata restrict this exchange, helping to regulate the amount of water loss and gas exchange in plants.

The guard cells flank the stomata and are the means by which the stomata are opened and closed. To take in CO2 and to expel O2 and water. Can close to conserve water if needed and this process usually happens at night when photosynthesis, the light reaction, is suspended.

The three processes that stop when stomata are closed are photosynthesis, transpiration, and gas exchange. Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that regulate the movement of gases into and out of the plant. When stomata are closed, these processes are significantly reduced or halted.
Plants can close their stomata to reduce water loss during times of stress using mechanisms like the accumulation of ions that cause osmotic changes, as well as the production of abscisic acid which signals stomatal closure. Additionally, certain plants, like succulents and CAM plants, have specialized adaptations that allow them to limit water loss by keeping their stomata closed during the day and opening them at night.
