Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Stomata are the tiny pores that function for the exchange of gases. When stomata are open, carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is released. The stomatal opening is flanked by the guard cells. The guard cells have elastic cell walls that help in regulating the opening and closing of the stomata.
