Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide and oxygen cannot pass through the cuticle, but move in and out of leaves through openings called stomata (stoma = “hole"). Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata.
Detailed explanation-2: -The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf (as well as the loss of water vapor in transpiration) occurs through pores called stomata (singular = stoma). Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants absorb carbon dioxide through small openings called stomata that are on the surface of the leaf.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stomata (noun, “STO-mah-tah”, singular “stoma”) These are the small pores in plant stems or leaves that allow carbon dioxide in and oxygen and water vapor out. Each tiny hole is surrounded by a pair of cells called guard cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Carbon dioxide from the air enters the leaf through the stomata.
