Chapter 28, Problem 4CT
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for plant death if its stomata is closed or opened all the time.
Concept introduction:
Stomata are the minute pore or small opening that arises from the kidney shaped guard cells of plant leaves. Stomata are present in the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. They help for exchanging gases in and out of the cell and also help for transpiration (maintaining the water level in cells).
