Functions of Stomata of a leaf.
Answers
Answer:
Its main function is the exchange of gases by opening and closing the pores in the leaves. - It helps in removing water from the leaves. - It takes carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen during the process of photosynthesis. - It helps in regulating water movement through transpiration.
Explanation:
The stomata control gas exchange in the leaf. Each stoma can be open or closed, depending on how turgid its guard cells are. Diffusion of carbon dioxide into the leaf for photosynthesis and oxygen and water vapour out of the leaf, is greatest when the stomata are open during the day.
Stomata are minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of the plants, forming slits of variable width, which allows the movement of gases in & out of the inter cellular spaces.
Stomata mainly occur in the lower epidermis of the leaf of a plant.
They occur during the primary growth of the plants.
Open based on the requirements of the plants.
Guard cells determine the size.
Transpire a large amount of water vapor.
