Which plants keep their stomata open only at night?
In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants. These carry out a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism, which effectively allows them to store carbon dioxide in their leaves. In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.
What is the role of open vs closed stomata in regulating gas exchange in plants?
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.
When are the stomata of leaves usually open?
Depending on the environment of the plant, stomata will open and close at different times. In hot, dry environments stomata will open around dusk and dawn to minimise water loss. In Wet environments stomata will open during the day as needed
Can a plant makes food if the stomata is closed?
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.
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 don't plants keep their stomata open all time?
Plants don't keep their Stomata open all the time to prevent too much water loss.
. CAM plants close their during the day and open them at night?
stomata

What do leaves go through at night?
At night, the leaves of C3 plants close their stomata and wait until the sunlight. For CAM plants, this is when the plants open their stomata and allow the carbon dioxide to come in.
What type of stomata are seen in aquatic plants open or closed?
C o2
What is the role of open vs closed stomata in regulating gas exchange in plants?
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.
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?
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.
How many stomata are likely to open at night?
In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants.

Can a plant makes food if the stomata is closed?
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.
What are the cells that surround the stomata called?
Guard Cells surround the stomata, and enable it to open or shut.
Why do plants open their pores?
Plants open their pores, or stomata, to allow for gas exchange. This process helps in photosynthesis by allowing carbon dioxide to enter the plant and oxygen to exit. Additionally, stomata opening allows for the release of excess water vapor during transpiration.
