Best Answer

The air space keeps the stomata moist so that transpiration and gas exchange can occur. The gas exchange in the stomata needs to take place so that photosynthesis can occur. So without the air space you have no stomata, and without the stomata you have no photosynthesis which is how plants obtain their food.

Plants need stomata to regulate gas exchange, allowing them to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen and water vapor. Air spaces within the plant help facilitate this gas exchange and provide a route for the movement of nutrients and water within the plant.

How do plants obtain the carbon dioxide they need for photosythesis?

through diffusion of air through the open stomata on the peripheri of leaves


Which one has more stomata cactus or water lily?

Water lilies will have less. Water plants have stomata on the sides exposed to air. Or if totally submerged, there are no stomata present. A cactus is covered with stomata but not as much as average plants.


How do plants take in and give out air?

Plants take in air through tiny pores on their leaves called stomata. They absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air during photosynthesis and release oxygen (O2) as a byproduct. Plants also release water vapor through a process called transpiration.


How does the an air space behind the each stoma help a leaf photosynthesis?

because when stomata open, they will take carbon dioxide in, so stoma need air space to hold carbon dioxide.


Why are plants found in the shade have more stomata than plants found in the sun?

Plants in the shade have more stomata because they need to maximize their ability to capture light energy for photosynthesis in low light conditions. Stomata allow for gas exchange, which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur. Having more stomata enables shade plants to take in more carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, despite the reduced light levels.

How does air enter the plants?

Plants take in air through tiny pores on their leaves called stomata. These stomata open to allow for the exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis and respiration.


How does the carbon dioxide get in to the plants by air?

Through the many holes in the leaves called the stomata.


What allows the exchange of gases between the environment and the air space inside the leaf?

Function of stamates in a plant?

The stomata in a plant has many important functions. Located on the leaves of plants the stomata take in air for plant respiration and aid in photosynthesis.
