What is the function of stomata in a leaf?

Answer 1

Stomata are small pores in the underside of leaves. The primary function is to allow gaseous exchange between the plant's internal tissues and the atmosphere.

Oxygen and water vapour (byproducts of photosynthesis) are released from the open stomata into the atmosphere; carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere is allowed to enter the stoma (this is required for photosynthesis.

Answer 2

to allow gas exchange between the environment and the inside of leaves
The main function of the stomata in plants is to exchange gases, to gather CO2 and dump O2. For this reason, it can be said that it acts like our lungs, as it changes respiratory gases. The stomata are regulated by guard cells, which swells and shrinks by water to control the stomata opening.

Answer 3

Stomata controls the rate of transpiration from leaves and thus is important for transpiration stream.

Answer 4

stomata (singular stoma)Tiny pores in epidermis of a leaf.

(i)They control water loss.

(ii)In leaves & young stems gaseous exchange occur through stomata.

Answer 5

Stomata are little holes that allow air to move into (and out of) a leaf. The rest of the leaf is (usually) covered with a waxy cuticle.

Answer 6

Gaseous exchange and stomatal transpiration

Answer 7

The basic function of stomata in leaves is to allow the exchange of gases with the atmosphere. Stomata also play role in controlling rate of transpiration.
