Stomata are typically found on the underside of leaves to minimize water loss through evaporation. This positioning reduces direct exposure to sunlight and wind, which can increase transpiration rates. Additionally, it helps regulate gas exchange, allowing carbon dioxide to enter while limiting water vapor escape, thus optimizing photosynthesis and conserving moisture.
What else can I help you with?
Are the stoma found more on the top or bottom of a leaf?
Stomata are typically found on the bottom surface of leaves, although some plants may have stomata on both the top and bottom surfaces. This placement helps reduce water loss through transpiration, as the underside of the leaf is usually more protected from direct sunlight and wind.
Which structure in a plant cell allows the passage of oxygen to the environment?
The "stoma" is found in the outer layer of the leaf(epidemis), it allows the passage of oxygen to the environment. The plural of "stoma" is "stomata".
Through which structure of a leaf is most mater vapour lost into the atmosphere?
The stoma on the underside of the leaf
What is the first structure to prevent water loss in the leaf?
xylem
The holes in a leaf where gases enter and leave?
Stomata (stoma)
Why are there more stoma on the bottom of the leaf?
to preserve water
What is the openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into leaves?
The stoma, or pores of a plant control all gas exchange. The stoma is found in the epidermis of the leaf.
Are the stoma found more on the top or bottom of a leaf?
Stomata are typically found on the bottom surface of leaves, although some plants may have stomata on both the top and bottom surfaces. This placement helps reduce water loss through transpiration, as the underside of the leaf is usually more protected from direct sunlight and wind.
What is the openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into the leaves?
The openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into the leaves are called stomata. Stomata are small pores primarily located on the underside of the leaf that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen.
Which structure in a plant cell allows the passage of oxygen to the environment?
The "stoma" is found in the outer layer of the leaf(epidemis), it allows the passage of oxygen to the environment. The plural of "stoma" is "stomata".
Where are guard cells found?
In pairs on the underside of leafs. They control the flow of gases into and out of the leaf. The two of them are called a stoma.
What is the opening in a leaf that allows gases to pass into and out of the leaf?
The stoma (stomata)
What is the function of leaf stoma?
A stoma is used to control gas exchange -- oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What part of a plant controls evaporation?
Stoma of the leaf.
Why plants with stoma cannot live in desserts?
A stoma is a pore found in a leaf's epidermis. This pore is used primarily for gas exchanges (carbon dioxide/oxygen), but it also has another unavoidable function. That function is decreasing the water in the leaf. The water evaporates and leaves the leaf through the stoma. In a dessert, this would be particularly harmful to the plant, as the heat would evaporate more and more of the water, which can then escape through the stomata, dehydrating the plant.
What side of the leaf are stomata found?
Most stomatas are found on the bottom of a leaf, a few can be found on the top depending on the plant variety
Through which structure of a leaf is most mater vapour lost into the atmosphere?
The stoma on the underside of the leaf
