What process allows green plants to control the amount of water stored in their leaves?

Asked by JSwonder

Answer (2)

Transpiration is the process by which plants can have a controlled release of water through the stomata (openings) in their leaves. To release more water to the air, the guard cells separate and create the stomal openings. Hope this helps! :)

Green plants control water in their leaves through transpiration, which involves the opening and closing of stomata managed by guard cells. These processes help regulate water loss while allowing necessary gas exchange for photosynthesis. By responding to environmental factors such as light and humidity, plants maintain a balance between water conservation and gas exchange.
