how do the plants take the sun ray if the stomata are usually found under the leaves??help me guys...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plant cells look green because of cholorphyll, elsewhere, they are colourless. So, light can pass through leaves tissue. And besides, stomata are used to let air in. The guard cells only need to know if photosynthesis has already started by seeing if any light passed through the mesophyll cells above.

so the summary??hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sunlight enters the plantfrom the lamina of the leaf which is facing the sun, it enters from the surface epidermal layer of cells.so the stomata has no part in allowing sunlight

hey mine got deleted:/ :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@stellaonie: yeah i know..how do they (the lamina facing the ray) absorb the sun ray?? whereas the stomata are existed under the lamina..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sun rays are taken in by chloroplasts in the cells. The position of the stomata does not affect the light dependent reaction. And, light will reach the guard cells because except for the chloroplasts, the cell is colourless.

uh huh right
