Detailed explanation-1: -The three major substances that can pass through a plant’s stomata are water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Guard cells help regulate the plant’s water loss and can control how much of these substances are able to enter and exit by opening and closing the pore.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria and fungi are capable of triggering stomatal closure through pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which prevents penetration through these pores. Therefore, the stomata can be considered part of the plant innate immune response.
Detailed explanation-3: -Its prime function is to exchange the gases by closing and opening the pores in the leaves. It assists in eradicating excess water from the leaves. It removes oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide at the time of photosynthesis. It assists in monitoring the movement of water via transpiration.
