  • Stomata


    Tiny, adjustable pores on leaf surfaces that regulate gas exchange (CO2 and O2) with the atmosphere.

  • Gas Exchange


    The process by which plants exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the atmosphere through structures called stomata.

  • Atmosphere


    The layer of gases surrounding Earth, crucial for life, enabling gas exchange in plants through structures like stomata.

  • Carbon Dioxide


    A colorless, odorless gas absorbed by plants through stomata for photosynthesis and released by animals during respiration.

  • Oxygen


    A diatomic molecule essential for cellular respiration and energy production in aerobic organisms, exchanged through plant stomata.

  • Leaf


    A plant structure that facilitates gas exchange with the atmosphere through tiny openings called stomata, which regulate the intake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen.

  • Tissues


    Groups of similar cells working together to perform specific functions in an organism, such as gas exchange in plants through structures like stomata.
