Leaf Stomata

Imahe
Leaf Stomata a  stoma  (plural "stomata"), also called a  stomate  (plural "stomates")(from  Greek   στόμα , "mouth"), is a pore, found in the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other organs, that facilitates  gas exchange . The pore is bordered by a pair of specialized  parenchyma  cells known as  guard cells  that are responsible for regulating the size of the stomatal opening. The term is usually used collectively to refer to the entire stomatal complex, consisting of the paired guard cells and the pore itself, which is referred to as the stomatal aperture. Air enters the plant through these openings by gaseous  diffusion , and contains  carbon dioxide  and  oxygen , which are used in  photosynthesis  and  respiration , respectively. Oxygen produced as a by-product of photosynthesis diffuses out to the atmosphere through these same openings. Also,  water vapor  diffuses th...
