Question

What are stomata? Write its function.

Answer 1

Stomata:

1. Stomata are epithelial cell structures found in tree leaves and needles that help promote plant growth and exchange carbon dioxide and water with the surrounding environment.
2. Stomata are tiny holes in the epidermis of leaves.

Function of stomata:

1. During perspiration, evaporation occurs as a gaseous state through stomata in trees and shrubs.
2. Stomata allow for gaseous exchange as well (oxygen and carbon dioxide).
3. Stomatal conductance actually blocks night time evaporation through pores.
