Question

What are the functions of stomata

Answer 1

Function:

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. Both photosynthesis and the gas exchange that powers it are essential to the plant's survival.

An unfortunate side effect of the stomata opening is that it allows for water loss. Unlike you and me, plants do not need to sweat to cool off and prefer to keep their water inside; however, because the gas exchange of photosynthesis is so vital, some water loss through stomata is necessary. This process of plant water loss is called transpiration.

Although transpiration cannot be avoided, plants can minimize their water loss by controlling how wide their stomata are open, as well as what time of day they are open. 

Hope this will help you ^_^

Answer 2

Explanation:

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 take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen for photosynthesis. Stomata are tiny

pores in the plant tissues mainly on the surface of leaves. It is also found

in some stems.
