Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of stomata in plant leaves?
Correct Answer: Gas exchange
  • Step 1: Understand that stomata are tiny holes found on the surface of plant leaves.
  • Step 2: Know that these holes are important for the plant's breathing process.
  • Step 3: Realize that stomata allow gases to enter and exit the leaf.
  • Step 4: Identify the two main gases involved: carbon dioxide (which plants take in) and oxygen (which plants release).
  • Step 5: Conclude that the primary function of stomata is to help with gas exchange, allowing plants to perform photosynthesis and respiration.
