Stomata need to open to allow the air to flow in and out. This means the carbon dioxide used in photosynthesis can be replaced and the oxygen produced by photosynthesis can leave the leaf.

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.


Why does the stomata of a plant open after the plant has been watered?

When a plant is watered, it creates a turgor pressure in its cells, causing the guard cells surrounding the stomata to swell and open. This allows for gas exchange to occur, such as the intake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Opening the stomata also helps regulate the plant's internal water balance.


What is a plant with an open stomata doing?

A plant with open stomata is allowing for gas exchange to occur. This includes the intake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen and water vapor. Additionally, it enables transpiration, which helps in cooling the plant and transporting nutrients and water throughout its system.


Why is water loss in leaves of a plant unavoidable?

Because the Stomata on the underside of the leaf have to open (so stomata are turgid) to allow for the exchange of CO2 and O2 so photosynthesis can occur. As this process takes place water diffuses out of the stomata.


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.

What is the breathing organ of plant?

The Stomata is the small opening on the underside of the left that allows for the absorption of CO2. A plant can open and close the stomata to help cut down on moisture loss.


Why do leaves stomata shut at night?

They shut because with the stomata open it is too drafty and the plant can't get to sleep.

When the plant has enough waterwhat swells up and pulls open the stomata so the plant can breath?

The guard cells of the stomata swell to form the stomatal pore


When a plant has enough water the what swells and pull open the stomata so the plant can breathe?

What happens when the stomata on a plant's leaves are open?

Stomata, which are holes in the epidermis of plants, allow for gas exchange and the passage or retention of water for the plant. Stomata enable respiration (gas exchange) in plants that provides for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces food for the plant from the transformation of oxygen from carbon dioxide, via the stomata as the pathway into the plant. Stomata also allows the passage of water into the plant (Transpiration), since the leaves are mostly covered by wax (the cuticle). Water can enter the vascular system, transporting nutrients and such to the rest of the plant. The stomata can also retain water in case of a shortage of water, like a drought, and prevent water loss, enabling the plant to survive longer.-Katydid2014Stomata are tiny holes on the bottom of a leaf. They open and close depending on the situations surrounding the plant. When the stomata are open, water is lost from the plant through evapotranspiration, which is when they evaporate from the surface of the leaf. The stomata close at a certain period of time in order to keep this water in. The stomata also open in order to let more carbon dioxide in, which is needed for photosynthesis. For example, if there is an increase in light around the plant, the stomata will open more often for photosynthesis, and will lose more water from the plant.


Will the stomata of a wilted plant be open or closed?

it is closed so no further water can be lost
