Question

What are the functions of the stomata?

Answer

The functions of stomata are:

  1. Exchange of Gases: They allow the entry of carbon dioxide (CO_2) for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen (O_2).

  2. Transpiration: They facilitate the loss of excess water in the form of water vapour.

  3. Cooling Effect: The loss of water through stomata helps regulate the temperature of the plant (keeps it cool).
