Leaf Pores
Open to everyone until Thursday, October 1
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Leaves have tiny openings called pores. These openings open and close to let carbon dioxide in and oxygen out.
In the picture
- Pore opening: the gap between two curved cells.
- Guard cell: one of two curved cells that border the gap.
- Carbon dioxide molecule: a dark sphere joined to two red spheres.
- Oxygen molecule: two red spheres joined together.
Examples
- A geranium on a windowsill takes in carbon dioxide through its leaf pores.
- A maple tree in a park releases oxygen through its leaf pores.
Key takeaways
- Leaf pores can open and close.
- Carbon dioxide goes in, and oxygen goes out.
