Where is stomata located in plants what is their function for class 10
Answers
Most stomata are usually found beneath the leaves (on the underside). This is to protect the plant from water loss. There they are well hidden from the sun in the shade of the leaf itself so the sun cannot evaporate the water that keeps the structure of the stomata proper.
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.
