How does cacti obtain CO2 needed for photosynthesis?
Cacti obtain CO2 needed for photosynthesis through small pores called stomata on their stems. These stomata open at night when it is cooler to minimize water loss through evaporation. During this time, cacti take in CO2 and store it for use in photosynthesis during the day.
How has the succulent adapted its stomata to prevent too much water loss?
it does does . god works . don't ever question gods works .
Where are the stomata on cactus?
The stomate are located in the same place as other plants, leaf and stems. Their stomate are much smaller and sometimes sunken deeper into the surfaces to help keep water loss at a minimum. Also, the stomate on catus only open at night when it is cool outside.
Do Plants like cacti that live in the desert have less stoma than plants in the rain forest?
Yes, plants like cacti that live in the desert tend to have fewer stomata compared to plants in the rainforest. This adaptation helps reduce water loss through transpiration, as stomata are the primary sites for water vapor to exit the plant. The reduced number of stomata in desert plants helps them conserve water in dry environments.
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.
Does a cacti open its stomata during the day?
no!

How does the process of cactus photosynthesis differ from that of other plants?
Cacti have a unique photosynthesis process compared to other plants because they perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). This allows cacti to open their stomata at night to reduce water loss and store carbon dioxide, which is then used during the day for photosynthesis. In contrast, most other plants perform photosynthesis during the day through a process called C3 photosynthesis, where stomata are open during the day.

Does the cactus have a stomata?
Yes. The cacti may practice a delayed form of photosynthesis because they must close their stomata in the daytime but they, like all other plants, must take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen and water through those stomata.
What guard cells guard?
They are the pair of cells that surround the stomata (pores on the underside of leaves) They can change shape to open or close the stomata. Most plants open their stomata during the day (to allow co2 to enter for photosysthis) and close them at night. However cacti open their stomata during the night to reduce water loss, and have to use stored co2 for photosysthesis.

This adaptation helps reduce water loss through transpiration, as stomata are the primary sites for water vapor to exit the plant. The reduced number of stomata in desert plants helps them conserve water in dry environments.
Why are stomsta shut at night?
Stomata are shut at night to conserve water. When there is no light, plants cannot fix carbon dioxide. Stomata are usually open to allow entrance of carbon dioxide. A side effect is that water is lost from the leaves.There is an exception to this, however. CAM plants such as cacti and succulents open the stomata at night, store carbon dioxide as acids, and close them during the day to prevent dessication from harsh desert conditions.
Why don't cacti dry out in the desert?
Cacti are able to store water in their stems during times of rain to use during periods of drought.
How do cacti utilize photosynthesis to thrive in arid environments?
Cacti use photosynthesis to thrive in arid environments by opening their stomata at night to reduce water loss, storing water in their fleshy stems, and having a specialized form of photosynthesis that minimizes water loss.
Which plants keep their stomata open only at night?
In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants. These carry out a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism, which effectively allows them to store carbon dioxide in their leaves. In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.
