Leaf Adaptations for Gas Exchange

Leaves are wide and thin with few layers, providing a large surface area to volume ratio for efficient diffusion.

2
New cards

Stomata

Microscopic openings in the lower leaf layer that allow CO2 to enter and oxygen + water vapor to exit the leaf.

3
New cards

Guard Cells

Cells that control the opening and closing of stomata.

4
New cards

Transpiration

Evaporation of water through open stomata.

5
New cards

Photosynthesis

Process that produces glucose when light is present (CO2 + water → glucose + oxygen).

6

Aerobic Cell Respiration

Process that creates ATP constantly (glucose + oxygen → water + CO2).
