The air space keeps the stomata moist so that transpiration and gas exchange can occur. The gas exchange in the stomata needs to take place so that photosynthesis can occur. So without the air space you have no stomata, and without the stomata you have no photosynthesis which is how plants obtain their food.

What is stomata and their function?
stomata are Small pores present on leaves of plants. it helps in photosynthesis by exchanging gases and it also helps in transpiration of plant.
What two adaptations help plants retain moisture while still allowing air to move in and out?
guard cells and stomata
What purpose do the stomata serve and why this is important to a plant?
Stomata are microscopic pores on the surface of plants that open to allow plants to take in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis.
Why do plantes compete for space?
Plants need water air and light to grow and survive. All these are dependent on space except maybe the air. Therefore they compete for it.
The leaves of plants release water vapor into the air through?
transpiration
How do plants take in and give out air?
with a stomata
Why are plants found in the shade have more stomata than plants found in the sun?
the stomata are used to exchange water and air on the leaf surface.
Which one has more stomata cactus or water lily?
Water lilies will have less. Water plants have stomata on the sides exposed to air. Or if totally submerged, there are no stomata present. A cactus is covered with stomata but not as much as average plants.
How do plants obtain the carbon dioxide they need for photosythesis?
through diffusion of air through the open stomata on the peripheri of leaves
What is stomata and their function?
stomata are Small pores present on leaves of plants. it helps in photosynthesis by exchanging gases and it also helps in transpiration of plant.
How does the an air space behind the each stoma help a leaf photosynthesis?
because when stomata open, they will take carbon dioxide in, so stoma need air space to hold carbon dioxide.
Which part of the plant takes in light and air?
The leaves through their stomata take air in.
What are opening in the epidermis of a plants that allow air and water to pass in and out of the leaf?
Stomata....
What two adaptations help plants retain moisture while still allowing air to move in and out?
guard cells and stomata
How does the carbon dioxide get in to the plants by air?
Through the many holes in the leaves called the stomata.
What allows the exchange of gases between the environment and the air space inside the leaf?
stomata
What purpose do the stomata serve and why this is important to a plant?
Stomata are microscopic pores on the surface of plants that open to allow plants to take in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis.
