Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Stomata are the tiny pore structures found on the leaves of a plant. They are responsible for the gaseous exchange between the leaf and atmosphere. Stomata also play an important role during transpiration and prevent the excess water loss by their opening and closure.

The formation of an air bubble in the xylem is called a. agitation. b. cohesion. c. adhesion. d. cavitation.
Stomata are usually opena. at night, when the plant requires a supply of oxygen.b. during the day, when the plant requires a supply of carbondioxide.c. day or night if there is excess water in the soil.d. during the day, when transpiration occurs.e. Both b and d are correct.
When absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, gain in turgor occurs, and the stomata close. A. Agree, because the transpiration occurs faster than root absorption. D. Disagree, because the condition should be when root absorption is able to keep up with transpiration, then stomates close. B. Disagree, because under this condition, the turgor pressure decreases and the stomates close. C. Agree, because increase in turgor pressure under this condition, closes the stomates.
