Stomata control the flow of gases between plants and the atmosphere. This review is centered on stomatal responses to elevated CO2 concentration and considers other key environmental factors and underlying mechanisms at multiple levels. First, an outline of general responses in stomatal conductance under elevated CO2 is presented. Second, stomatal density response, its development, and the. We would normally expect stomatal density to be related to the climate in which the plant is adapted to grow. Some cacti have no leaves, but green stems instead, perhaps because there is a lower stomatal density on stems than on leaves - the leaves have been reduced to the spines on the cactus.
When open, the stomata can release water. The more dense orlarger the stomata are, the more water they can release.
How is the lost water in stomata replaced?
The guard cells of the stomata have greater osmotic pressure due to loss of water. Thus, by way of osmosis this loss is compansated continuously from the surrounding cells of the stomata. Read More

No, the stomata closes in the daytime and opens during the night so as to refrain from water loss. Read More
What is the loss of water from plants?
Plants lose most of their water by transpiration through the stomata of the leaves. Read More
What is water loss from leaves through the stomata called?
The process of water evaporating from plants via the leaves, stomata and other surfaces is known as transpiration. Read More
Why are cutin stomata and guard cells absent in elodea?
Cutin, stomata and guard cells are used for water loss prevention. These are not needed because Elodea is a water plant. Read More
What passes through stomata?
Water Vapor, CO2 and O2 pass through stomata. The Stomata are located on the underside of the leaf (lower epidermus) in order to prevent water loss from direct sunlight via evaporation. The upperside (spper epidermus) of the leaf prevents water loss by evaporation. I does this becuase it has a waxy cuticle on top of the leaf (cutin) which blocks water from coming in so gas exchange and water must flow through the stomata. Read More
What does a CAM plant do?
Slows water loss by opening stomata only at night Read More
How does a plant control water loss?
By opening and closing the stomata on the underside of the leaves. Read More
What part of the structure of the leaf minimizes water loss?
Why stomata are numerous in lower epidermis than upper epidermis?
Stomata are present in plant leaves for gaseous exchange from the atmosphere. A lot of water is also lost due to transpiration through the stomata. To minimize the water loss the stomata remain on the under side of the leaves. Read More
Why does the stomata close at night?
The stomata are tiny openings found in the leaves of plants that allow the passage of carbon dioxide into the plant cells. The stomata close at night to avoid water loss. Read More
Why is water loss in leaves of a plant unavoidable?
Because the Stomata on the underside of the leaf have to open (so stomata are turgid) to allow for the exchange of CO2 and O2 so photosynthesis can occur. As this process takes place water diffuses out of the stomata. Read More
How does a plant manages the conflict between the loss of water through transpiration and the need for C02 for photosynthesis?
By putting control over opening and closing of stomata and also creating the devices to minimize the loss of water by transpiration, such as position of stomata on the lower surface of leaf, away from sunlight, presence of hairs and sunken stomata etc. Read More
What is a disadvantage of the change in size of stomata in the presence of light?
![Affects Affects](/uploads/1/2/5/2/125296830/158271369.gif)
The rate of water loss will increase so it will be a disadvantage of the change in size of stomata in the presence of light. Read More
What adaptation do most leaves have to prevent water loss?
Most of their stomata are on the underside of the leaf. Read More
What do you call a process where the loss of water through the stomata of a leaf takes place?
Why do plants close their stomata on a hot day?
to decrease transpiration (evaporation)water loss Read More
The loss of water vapor from a plant through its stomata?
The process of water loss through the stomata of the leaves is called transpiration. The stomata of a leaf are usually found on the underside of most leaves and each consists of two curved cells. When the air is moist, these absorb moisture and become more curved, opening little holes through which air and water vapour can pass in and out. When the air is dry, the stomata close up, minimising the loss of water… Read More
How does climate affect leaf structure?
the leaves begin to adapt by having waxy layers and hairs to avoid the maximum loss of water i deserts. and also by formation of more specialised stomata Read More
Why does having too much stomata increase water loss?
Stomata are like pores that are meant to control water levels, especially in transpiration. The right number of stomata keeps the plant in equilibrium, too many and the plant loses too much water, drying out and dying. Read More
What is the role of a stomata and guard cells?
Through the stomata carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant and oxygen and water vapor diffuse out of the plant. Guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata. Used in arid climates to control water loss for instance. Read More
How plants keep their stomata closed during the daytime to reduce excess water loss?
Stomata close as the cells on their immediate boundary lose water. This changes their shape in such a way that the opening is reduced. Read More
The effect of CaCl2 solution on the opening and closing of stomata?
In water the stomates open allowing gases into the leaf body (gas exchange) and with the addition of CaCl2 the stomata close to prevent water loss. Read More
Why does cactus plant has small leaves and few stomata?
To reduce water loss as much as possible. Read More
What is transpiraton?
The loss of water from the aerial parts of the plants specially through the stomata is known as the 'Transpiration'. Read More
What happens the amount of water in a plant drops below a certain point?
The stomata closes, the prevents loss of water by transpiration Read More
What does the stomata do during transpiration?
the stomata allows water to leave the leaf - this water loss is called transpiration. Caitlyn Kavanagh is cool but needs a haircut so so so bad. Read More
What protects a plant from water loss?
A layer of the leaf called the cuticle cuts down on water lost by evaporation. Also, the guard cells around the stomata which can close to prevent water loss. Read More
Why don't plants keep their stomata open all the time?
Plants don't keep their Stomata open all the time to prevent too much water loss. Read More
Why are stomata present on the upper side of the leaf of a hydrophyte.?
Because they are water plants they get enough water, unlike say the xerophytes which dont(and so their stomata is on the lower surface to minimise the loss of water) and because they get more than enough water they would want to get rid of it more easily so stomata are on the upper surface! Read More
Why the floating leaves of water lily have stomata on upper surface while in plants from dry climates the stomata are sunken?
Water plants have stomata on top (upper epidermis) because the lower epidermis is in contact, if not submerged in water. Stomata opens and closes to regulate gas exchange and transpiration. Desert plants or plants where moisture may be unavailable or in short supply for at least part of the year have sunken stomata to reduce water loss. Read More
Under what conditions would guard cells close the stomata?
A guard cell would close the stomata in response to a loss of water in the leaf, as an attempt to conserve water. The stomata are more often closed in high humidity when the water pressure inside the leaf is low, meaning it is needed inside the leaf. Light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration may be other factors determining whether the stomata are closed or open. The last reason that is known to cause the… Read More
When do plant stomata open and close?
Depending on the environment of the plant, stomata will open and close at different times. In hot, dry environments stomata will open around dusk and dawn to minimise water loss. In Wet environments stomata will open during the day as needed Read More
