The stomata are meant for gaseous exchange, however transpiration also occurs when they are open.

What is the function of stomata in a leaf?

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.


What are the functions of the stomata?

the exchange of carbon dioxide to oxygen.help things to get in the leaf. (water e.c.t.)water, CO2,sunlight can get in when the stomate is open


What is the leaf job?

The leaf job involves collecting and raking leaves from lawns, gardens, and yards. It is often done in the fall season to tidy up outdoor spaces and prepare them for winter. This job can be done manually or with the help of leaf blowers or vacuums.


What is the stomata for?

Stomata are tiny pores on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gas exchange, specifically the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen during photosynthesis. They also regulate the loss of water vapor through transpiration.


What will happen if there are too many stomata on the top of the leaf?

Stomata are a plants way of exchanging gasses in photosynthesis. The stomata also are resoponsible for transpiration. Most plants have stomata on the under side of the leaf in order to prevent too much water loss. There already is a lot of stomata in leaves but I think you mean to ask "What would happen if the stomata were open all the time?" this would result in mass water loss and cause a plant to wilt.Edited answer:Large number of stomata will increase porocity of the leaves and will facilitate better gaseous exchange and more transpiration.

The site for gaseous exchange is the lungs. Carbon dioxide is exhaled and is substituted for oxygen which is inhaled.


How do green plants transpire?

Transpiration in green plants takes place through the stomata and cuticle. The stomata perform the function of gaseous exchange and during this process water vapours also get transferred due to difusion.
