CO2 would have a very difficult time entering the plant and the plant could not make food or construction materials as all sugars made by the plant are based on the carbon in carbon dioxide.

Why does duckweed have stomata on the top surface of the leaf?

Duckweed has stomata on the top surface of the leaf to minimize water loss and prevent desiccation. By having stomata on the upper surface, duckweed can control gas exchange while reducing exposure to dry and windy conditions.

How do gases enter and escape from leaves?

Gases enter and exit a leaf through stomata. These are openings in the epidermis which are regulated by guard cells. Guard cells decide which gases can go in and out. The gas that goes in is carbon dioxide and the gas that goes out it oxygen.


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.


What does transpire?

it is an alternative word for 'happen' or 'turn out' How did that transpire? How did that happen?In botany (the scientific study of plants), transpirealso means to give off water vapor through the stomata (pores in the skin of the leaf or stem of a plant).


Why stomata necessary to green plants?

It takes in carbon dioxide and when it is processed in the leaf, it releases oxygen


How does oxygen enter the leaf?

Oxygen moves through leafy plants through the "stoma, pleural: stomata". They are small pores in the leaf that can open and close to allow gas exchange. However, most plants exhale oxygen (O2) and inhale carbon dioxide (CO2), so oxygen is generally leaving a plant.


Where are the stomata located on the lower surface of a leaf?

The stomata are located on the lower surface of a leaf.


How did the leaves obtain carbon dioxide?

At the stomata. Stomata are little pores on the surface that let Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, as well as water in and out of the leaf.
