Question

Give the function of
a. Cork
b. Stomata

Answer 1

Stomata: The gas exchange that occurs when stomata are open facilitates photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into usable energy. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere through the stomata and oxygen is released as a waste product.

Cork: As the plant grows old, the outer protective layer that is the epidermis goes under certain changes. The epidermis of the young stem is replaced by a strip of secondary meristem called cork cambium or phellogen .

Cork is light weight and does not catch fire easily, due to these properties it is used in making insulators, shock absorbers and sports goods.

They protect the plant from harmful microbes.

They protect the plant form mechanical injuries.

They prevent the loss of water by evaporation and transpiration.

Answer 2

Answer:-

Functions:-

1)Cork:- Cork cambium is a tissue found in many vascular plants as part of the epidermis. The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. The function of cork cambium is to produce a cork, a tough protective material.

2)Stomata:- The main function of stomata is to open and close the pores in the leaves for an exchange of gases. It allows the plant to taken in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen for photosynthesis.
