Gaseous exchange in plants refers to the process by which plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and release oxygen (O2) during photosynthesis. This exchange occurs primarily through small openings called stomata, located on the surfaces of leaves. During daylight, stomata open to allow CO2 to enter for photosynthesis, while oxygen, a byproduct of this process, is released back into the atmosphere. Additionally, during respiration, plants can take in oxygen and release CO2, particularly at night when photosynthesis ceases.
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of stomates in a plant?
Gaseous exchange and evaporation of water vapour
How does gaseous exchange with the surrounding occur in land plants?
It is because Co2(carbon dioxide) is transferred to the plant and the plant makes the Co2 Oxygen.
How are lungs an plant leaves similar an different?
They both breathe oxygen

How does gaseous exchange take place in the lower plants?
In lower plants such as mosses and liverworts, gaseous exchange occurs through simple diffusion across the cell membranes. These plants lack specialized structures like stomata found in higher plants, so gases enter and exit the plant cells directly through their surfaces. This process is limited by the surface area available for exchange, making lower plants reliant on moist environments for efficient gaseous exchange.

What is the name for exchange of gas in the lungs?
gaseous exchange
What negative impact occurs when guard cells closing on the plant leaf?
The gaseous exchange is hampered.
What is the purpose of the spongy layer in a plant leaf?
The spongy layer in a plant leaf facilitate better gaseous exchange for photosynthesis and respiration.
How important are the leaves in plants?
Leaves are very important plant part as these perform gaseous exchange and photosynthesis
Why are the leaves so important to the plant?
because leaves play crucial role in photosynthesis and gaseous exchange
How does gaseous exchange with the surrounding occur in land plants?
It is because Co2(carbon dioxide) is transferred to the plant and the plant makes the Co2 Oxygen.

What is the difference between ventilation and gaseous exchange?
Gaseous exchange is a natural process, ventilation is a forced process.
Where is the site for gaseous exchange?
The site for gaseous exchange is the lungs. Carbon dioxide is exhaled and is substituted for oxygen which is inhaled.
What exchange takes place in the lungs?
gaseous exchange - in the alveolis
