Stomata are small microscopic openings found on the surface of the leaf and stem. Surrounding the stoma is a pair of guard cells. The stomata are a manifestation of stress in the skin. They work to regulate the flow of gases into and out of the leaf. The stomata are affected in terms of their development and opening by environmental changes, as changing environmental conditions affect their response. Stomata: Environmental factors, such as temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, relative humidity, and light, are factors that play an important role in the development and opening of stomata.
