2. what is the function of the stomata? (slide 16)
3. what causes the stomata to open? (slide 16)

Explanation:

1. Stomata are tiny pores on plant leaves.
2. Their function includes gas exchange (taking in \(CO_2\) and releasing \(O_2\)) and transpiration (water vapor release).
3. Stomata open when guard cells take in water (become turgid).

Answer:

1. Tiny pores on plant leaves.
2. Gas exchange (\(CO_2\) in, \(O_2\) out) and transpiration.
3. Guard cells taking in water (becoming turgid).
