Question

What are the 2 factors affecting diffusion of gases between plants and environment ?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The factors on which the diffusion of gases between plants and environment depends are:

1) Size and number of stomata (pores through gases exchange takes place)
2) Intensity of light - since the opening and closing of stomata depends on the intensity of light which inturn affects the rate of diffusion of gases. At low intensity of light stomata tend to remain closed.
