Plants breath through stomates. they are microscopic openings covering the leaves that open and close bringing in CO2 and out oxygen. This gives us 29 percent of our oxygen while the other percentage (71) is from phytoplankton

This opening is called a stomate. It is guarded by two guard cells that close in a drought or open wide when there is a lot of rain.

How does Carbon Dioxide enter the leaves of the plant?

Carbon Dioxide enters the leaf through the stomata, which are openings on the underside of the leaf where the exchange of gases occur.Stomata (singular - stoma) take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen (in the form of water vapour).Carbon dioxide exchange happens generally during the day and the exchange of water vapour (transpiration) generally at night .


What are the openings in the epidermis of a plant that allow air and water to pass in and out of the leaf?

Yes, the stomata, which are pores in the lower epidermis of the leaf and are surrounded by 2 guard cells, open in the day to let in CO2 for photosynthesis but they also release H2O as water vapour and they close at night to reduce water loss.


What purpose do the leaves serve?

the purpose of a leaf is to catch sunlight to preform photosynthesis. Leaves are organs made of cells and tissues. The plant uses the leaves to make sugar (the plants food). Chloroplasts give green color to the leaves. This is where the photosynthesis happens.


What goes into a plant through its stomata?

stoma (also stomate; plural stomata) is a tiny opening or pore, found mostly on the underside of a plant leaf and used for gas exchange. Air containing carbon dioxide enters the plant through these openings where it is used in photosynthesis and respiration. Oxygen produced by photosynthesis in the spongy layer cells (parenchyma cells with pectin) of the leaf interior exits through these same openings. Also, water vapor is released into the atmosphere through these pores in a process called transpiration.

What is the openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into leaves?

The stoma, or pores of a plant control all gas exchange. The stoma is found in the epidermis of the leaf.


What is stomata derived from?

Stomata are the tiny openings on the leaves that let out excess water and exchange gases. This is important in the process of transpiration, when the plant's extra water is released and goes up into the atmosphere to condense into a rain cloud and eventual rain/snow back to earth, as part of the continuous cycle we call the water cycle.
