stomata

Question 1

function of stomata?

Answer 1

open and close to let carbon dioxide in for photosynthesis

Question 2

parts of stomata?

Answer 2

-guard cell (shrunken = closed , swollen = open stoma)
-nucleus
-cell wall
-chloroplasts
-vacuole
-stoma

Question 3

what is transpiration?

Answer 3

when water evaporates into air spaces in the leaf and then diffuses out of the leaf through the stoma

Question 4

stomata cycle in the day?

Answer 4

1- plant receives plenty of light and water = more photosynthesis
2- concentration of glucose in guard cell increases
3- water moves into guard cell by osmosis
4- guard cells become turgid and stomata opens.

Question 5

stomata cycle at night?

Answer 5

1- no photosynthesis due to no sunlight
2- concentration of glucose decreases in the guard cell
3- water moves out of the guard cells
4- guard cell becomes flaccid and stomata closes.

Question 6

what is translocation?

Answer 6

the movement of sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant through the phloem
