A video shows how plants "breathe" up close

A viral video posted on the popular Reddit site r/Damnthatsinteresting shows how plants breathe up close.

Here's What We Know

The video is striking in its detail, showing tiny openings on plant leaves known as stomata. These openings help plants take in carbon dioxide and release the oxygen they need to survive.

Stomata are shown when plants breathe in gases such as carbon dioxide. These gases help plants create the food they need to survive through photosynthesis, a process that scientists have been trying to replicate, and then release oxygen as a by-product of the process.

Thegroundbreaking video shows how plants "breathe" in real time, demonstrating how they use stomata to regulate their carbondioxideconsumption.

According to UniladTech, the video may be linked to a scientific paper published in 2022 exploring this process in detail.
