Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main 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 carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air to enter the leaf.
  • Step 4: Understand that when CO2 enters, oxygen (O2) produced during photosynthesis can exit through the stomata.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the main function of stomata is to help the plant exchange gases it needs for photosynthesis and respiration.
