Question

How are stomata blocked?

Answer 1

Stomata:

1. Stomata are the minute pores present on the surface of the leaf which assists it in breathing.
2. Stomata have guard cells that regulate their opening and closing.
3. These cells allow water to leave the plant due to turgor or transpiration.
4. In less light, the guard cells become flaccid causing the closing of the stomata.
5. If the stomata are blocked, it will stop the process of photosynthesis.
