Stomata close during the night because the water will evaporate ( they do this to conserve water).

How stomata occur during night?

Stomata do not occur - during the night or day. Stomata are physical features of leaves: they are there from when the leaf is created to when it dies.


What do cam plants close?

Their stomata during the day!.

How does CO2 get into a leaf?

Through the stomata, openings in the leaf surface. By diffusion. There are three photosynthesis processes, C3, C4, and CAM. (These names describe part of the chemistry.) The desert plants (and some epiphytes) use CAM, for in this process, the stomata are closed during the day, and open at night. The plant absorbs CO2 into its system as a complex chemical (the CAM bit) over night, and during the day, the stomata close and the plant converts the CAM chemical into CO2 to be used for photosynthesis in the usual way. Normal plants open their stomata during the day, and CO2 diffuses in and O2 out.


CAM plants close their what during the day and open them at night?

Cam plants close during the night and open during the day because they are photosensitive and respond to light. To do it experimentally, try with a torch for some time.


Why does the stomata of a desert plant close during the day?

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.


What are the openings or stomata during the hottest time of the day?

During the hottest time of the day, plants usually close their stomata to reduce water loss through transpiration and to prevent wilting. This helps them conserve water and maintain turgidity.


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 is the function of the stomata?

The stomata are openings in plant leaves through which gasses pass in and out. During the day carbon dioxide passes from the air through the stomata to the leaves and oxygen, produced by the leaf, passes back out through them. At night plants yield up small amounts of carbon dioxide through the stomata.


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.


What substance is released from the stomata?

Stomata are small openings in a leaf to allow carbon dioxide to get in during the day and oxygen to get in at night. Both gases also pass out through stomata. Water vapor also passes out of stomata.


When are the stomata usually open?

Stomata are typically open during the day to allow for gas exchange, such as photosynthesis (uptake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen). They usually close at night to conserve water and prevent excess water loss through transpiration.
