What allows the exchanged of gases between the environment and the air spaces inside the leaf?

i first thought it was stoma. but its stomata.


What is the Relationship between the stoma and an air space?

Stomata are small pores on plant leaves that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen. These pores lead to internal air spaces within the leaf where gases can be exchanged with surrounding cells. The presence of stomata facilitates the movement of gases in and out of the leaf's internal air spaces.


What is the area in a leaf containing many air spaces between cells so that carbon dioxide from the stomata can pass through?

The underside of the leaf.


How do the air spaces in the spongy mesophyll connect with the exterior of the leaf?

The air spaces in the spongy mesophyll connect with the exterior of the leaf through small pores called stomata. Stomata are located on the underside of the leaf and allow for gas exchange between the interior of the leaf and the surrounding environment.


What gases exit the stomata?

all gases in the air near the leaf/plant/tree will pass through the stomata. the exchange of CO2 and O2 happens inside...

Why do plants need stomata and air space?

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.


Where does the air taken in by the stomata go?

Most of the air goes to your lungs and some goes to your stomach. Both of them come out of the stomata only. Some air from your stomach is absorbed in your intestine. The remaining pass through lower end of digestive tract.


How do plants get their nutrientes?

disolved mineral nutrients are absorbed by the roots from the soil. carbon dioxide is absorbed directly from the air through the stomata in the leaves. oxygen is absorbed through the root system from pore spaces in the soil as well as a small amount through the stomata in the leaf.


Where are stomata generally most abundant in the majority of leaves?

On a dorsi-ventral leaf most of the stomata are found on the lower side of the leaf, that remains away from sunlight. On an iso-bilateral leaf stomata are present on both the sides, upper as well as lower.


Why do aquatic plants have air spaces in their stems?

To ensure that the plant is bouyant and floats on or near the surface of the water. The air spaces also allow more gas exchange/ or diffusion for the plant to get the needed air that isn't as available in the water.
