Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of stomata in plants?
Correct Answer: Gas exchange
  • Step 1: Understand that stomata are tiny openings on the surface of leaves.
  • Step 2: Know that these openings are important for gas exchange.
  • Step 3: Realize that plants need carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air for photosynthesis.
  • Step 4: Recognize that during photosynthesis, plants produce oxygen (O2) as a byproduct.
  • Step 5: Conclude that stomata allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant and oxygen to exit.
