The leaves of plants contain openings called stomata, which are used for the exchange of gases π Carbon dioxide, combined with water in photosynthesis, is drawn in through the stomata π This is called transpiration. Oxygen, as a result of this process, is also released via these openings. The plant should conserve as much moisture as possible during dry seasons. The following are some ways to achieve this: plant closes To prevent water vapor escaping from the stomata. Guard cells are used to seal the moisture in the plant and close the stomata. They contain water that is filled with water. [1]
Water works as a reducer by providing H+-ions, which transform NADP to NADPH. Because NADPH, an important reducing ingredient in chloroplasts is produced, there will be a shortage of electrons due to the oxidation chlorophyll. It is necessary to replace this electron-deficient state with electrons from another reducing substance. Photosystem II includes the initial steps of Z-scheme (the electron transport chain diagram in photosynthesis). Therefore, an electron donor is necessary to convert chlorophyll. Water is a good source of electrons for green plants as well as cynobacteria. The chemical potential of the membrane, created by hydrogen ions being released, eventually results in the synthesis ATP. The primary enzyme responsible for this process of oxidation is Photosystem II. We say thanks to Flynn Galvez of Bauchi, Nigeria for pointing out this. [2]
Because plants can synthesize or create their own food from sunlight, they are known as autotrophs. Many people believe they are βfeedingβ a plant when they have put it in soilIt can be watered or placed outside in the Sun. However, none of these are food. Rather, plants use sunlight, water, and the gases in the air to make glucose, which is a form of sugar that plants need To survive. The process of photosynthesis can be described as a natural phenomenon that is carried out by plants, algae and some microorganisms. Photosynthesis requires three elements: carbon dioxideWater, sunlight, and ice. Last edited by Starkeisha Starkeisha from Villahermosa (Mexico) 20 days ago [3]
Water gets into the root where it is carried up to the leaves via special channels. Plant cells Also known as xylem, (pronounced “zigh-lem”) To prevent drying out and desiccation, land plants have developed specialized structures called stomata that allow the gas to pass through and exit the leaf. Although carbon dioxide can’t pass through the waxy protective layer on the leaf, (cuticle), it can still enter through an opening (the Stoma; plural = Stomatomata; Greek word for hole) that is flanked two guard cells. The stomata can also be used to release oxygen that is produced by photosynthesis. These gases move between the outside and inside of the leaf. Unfortunately, the plants also lose a lot of water. For example, cottonwood trees will see 100 gallons go to waste. Water per hour during hot desert days. The only way carbon dioxide can enter aquatic and single-celled autotrophs is through their lack of specialized structures. We are grateful to Lashonna Addison who shared this information with us.

Www2.estrellamountain.edu He also mentions that water travels up through the roots to reach the leaves via specialized cell structures called xylem. The protection of land plants against dry out (desiccation), means that they have created specialized structures, known as stomata. These structures allow for gas to flow through the leaf and back. Although carbon dioxide can’t pass through the waxy protective layer on the leaf (cuticle), it can still enter through an opening (the Stoma, plural = stomata) that is flanked two guard cells. The stomata can also be used to release oxygen that is produced by photosynthesis. These gases move between the outside and inside of the leaf. Unfortunately, the plants also lose a lot of water. In hot desert heat, Cottonwood trees can lose up to 100 gallons an hour. Through no special structures, carbon dioxide can enter aquatic and single-celled autotrophs.
