Structure of Stomata
Stomata are typically comprised of two specialized cells called guard cells, which surround a central pore. The guard cells are kidney-shaped and contain chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis.Function of Stomata
Stomata play a crucial role in the process of transpiration, where water evaporates from the plant's surface, helping to regulate the plant's internal water balance. Additionally, stomata facilitate the exchange of gases, allowing carbon dioxide to enter the plant for photosynthesis and oxygen to exit.Regulation of Stomata
The opening and closing of stomata are regulated by various factors, including light, carbon dioxide concentration, and the plant's internal water status. When the plant requires carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, the stomata open, but they close to conserve water during dry conditions.Study Guide for Stomata
