Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that facilitate gas exchange, allowing carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit. The intercellular spaces in mesophyll tissue are air-filled cavities that connect with the stomata, enabling the diffusion of gases between the internal leaf environment and the atmosphere. Together, stomata and intercellular spaces play a crucial role in photosynthesis and respiration by ensuring a continuous supply of gases to the mesophyll cells.
