Question

5. What are the functions of the stomata?​

Answer 1

Answer:

They are pores surrounded by specialized parenchymatic cells, called guard cells. Stomata have two main functions, namely they allow for gas exchange acting as an entryway for carbon dioxide (CO2) and releasing the Oxygen (O2) that we breath. The other main function is regulating water movement through transpiration.

Answer 2

Stomata are small pores on the surfaces of leaves and stems, bounded by a pair of guard cells, that control the exchange of gases—most importantly water vapour and CO2—between the interior of the leaf and the atmosphere.
