The stomata's function is to control the intake and expelling of gasses from the leaf; as well as affecting water loss. The advantage of it's width being able to change means it can respond to conditions to take in more or less CO2 for photosynthesis and retain or release more water as is appropriate

Do humans have stomata?

No, humans do not have stomata. Stomata are microscopic pores found on the surface of plant leaves and stems that are used for gas exchange and transpiration. Humans have lungs for gas exchange and do not require stomata for this purpose.


Leaves have what on the lower surface?

Stomata that can help plants to exchange gases.


Why do lotus and water lily have stomata on the upper surface of the leaf?

The stomata have to be able to access air easily as its purpose is to take in and give out carbon dioxide oxygen. Since both the water lily and lotus are water plants partially submerged in water, air would be more easily accesible from the upper surface.


What are the tiny holes in leaves through which carbon dioxide enters?

The tiny holes in leaves through which carbon dioxide enters are called stomata. Stomata are small pores located on the surface of leaves that open and close to allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.


Stomata are found on upper or lower surface in lotus leaf?

Do lotus leaf have stomata?

Yes, lotus leaves have stomata, but they are located on the upper surface of the leaf rather than the lower surface. This unique positioning helps reduce water loss through transpiration while still allowing for gas exchange.


How do gases enter and leave plants?

In terrestrial plants, gas enters and leaves (termed "gas exchange") through cell-lined pores called "stomata." Stomata open and close in response to light and humidity, permitting oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor to enter and leave the plant. In most terrestrial plants, the stomata are located on the surface of the leaves, or in cacti, on the surface of the stems. In aquatic plants, gas exchange directly though the tissue surface.


What is a sentence for stomata?

Example sentence for the plural noun stomata: The stomata are the pores in the leaves of a plant that allow gases to pass into and out of the leaf.


Are root hairs found mostly on the stomata?

No root hairs are not found on the stomata.


What part of the plant exchanges gases?

The stomata, which are tiny openings on the surface of leaves, are responsible for exchanging gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and respiration in plants.


Where is the stomata in lotus and why?

Stomata in lotus are primarily located on the upper surface of the leaves. This adaptation helps to minimize water loss through transpiration by reducing exposure to sunlight and wind, which can promote evaporation. The positioning of stomata on the upper surface also allows for efficient gas exchange and absorption of carbon dioxide.
