  • Stomata: How Plants Exchange Gases for Photosynthesis
    The structures that allow gaseous reactants and products of photosynthesis to move in and out of a plant are stomata.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Stomata are small pores on the surface of leaves and stems.

    * They are surrounded by specialized cells called guard cells that regulate their opening and closing.

    * Carbon dioxide (CO2), a reactant in photosynthesis, enters the plant through the stomata.

    * Oxygen (O2), a product of photosynthesis, exits the plant through the stomata.

    * Water vapor (H2O) also escapes through the stomata in a process called transpiration.
