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.

∙ 10y agoNo. The stomata, with the guard cells surrounding the stomata, had the task of gaseous exchange with the atmosphere. Usually, carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaf and oxygen diffuses out of the leaf, all dependent on the opening and closing power of the guard cells.

∙ 10y agoIt shuts down the synthesis part, as the CO2 diffusing into the leaves does not go through closed stomata, so no Calvin cycle making sugar from that CO2.
Still, some plants do this in the heat of the day and take in CO2 at night, thus running different processes at different times.
With a search engine, look up photorespiration. Also search C4 and CAM plants.

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.
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 guard cells in dry conditions?
i hve no idea.... this was my ques in the 1st place! can someone please answer it....
Which 3 processes stop if stomata is closed?
Diffusion, Respiration & Photosynthesis. These 3 processes will stop if stomata is closed.
What tiny openings on plants leaves are called?
Stomata
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.
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?
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
C4 plants conserve water by?
opening their stomata and admitting C02 only at night
What type of stomata are seen in aquatic plants open or closed?
C o2
What happens to ordinary plants (not c4 or can ) when stomata close?
Blah
What happens to ordinary plants (or C4 or CAM) when stomata close?
Blah
What is a guard cell of a 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.
What plants close stoma to control transpiration?
All plants use guard cells to control how long stomata should be opened or closed. CAM plants, for example, close their stomata during the day to prevent loss of water.
Which plants have sunken stomata?
generally xerophytic plants have sunken stomata
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
