how do plants get carbon dioxide for making food by photosynthesis?
Answers
Explanation:
For photosynthesis green plants take carbon dioxide from the air. The carbon dioxide enters the leaves of the plant through the stomata present on their surface. ... During photosynthesis, the oxygen gas produces goes out through the leaves of the stomach pores.
On the surface of the leaves of the plants there are a large number of tiny pores known as stomata or stoma. For photosynthesis green plants take carbon dioxide from the air. The carbon dioxide enters the leaves of the plant through the stomata present on their surface. Each stomatal pore is surrounded by a pair of guard cells. The opening and closing of the pores of stomata is controlled by the guard cells only. When water flows into the guard cells, they swell, become curved and cause the pore to open. On the other hand, the guard cells lose water; they shrink, become straight and close the stomatal pore. A large amount of water is also lost from the cells of the plant leaves through open stomatal pores. So, when the plant does not need carbon dioxide and wants to conserve water, the stomatal pores are closed
