Answer:

Hibernation is a way that some animals deal with the harshness of winter.

hibernation, a state of greatly reduced metabolic activity and lowered body temperature adopted by certain mammals as an adaptation to adverse winter conditions.The true hibernator spends most of the winter in a state close to death; in fact, the animal may appear to be dead. The body temperature is close to 0° C (32° F); the respiration is only a few breaths per minute; and the heartbeat is so slow and gradual as to be barely perceptible. Exposed to moderate warmth, the animal slowly awakens, requiring an hour or more to reach an alert state.

Stomata are the organs present on the stem and leaves of the plant and help in the gaseous exchange and evaporating water present in the aerial parts of the plant. Mainly leaves stomata plays role in gaseous exchange and transpiration which is the evaporation of the aerial water of plants by opening and closing the stomata. Stomata are small pores mostly and normally present under the leaves and regulated by the guard cells, dum bell shaped cells to close or close it.

Other than closing and opening the stomata, stomata density also can affect the rate of gas exchange as well as transpiration. Stomata density is the presence of the numbers of the stomata per unit area. In heat or sunny area the stomata density is higher than the shady or dark area to increase the transpiration in order to cool down the leaves of the plant which prevent the chloroplast proteins to denature.
