Stomata play an important role in the homeostasis of a plant, which statement regarding
stomata is true?
A. When water concentrations are low in the plant, stomata will open.
B. Stomata density increases in plants in hot areas
C. Gases are moved through the stomata via active transport
D. Stomata control the concentration of gases in the plant
Why do land plants have stomates (sometimes called stomata)?
a. To allow plants to take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
b. All of the choices are true; none are false.
c. To control water loss while allowing for the uptake of some raw materials of photosynthesis.
d. They allow the plant to have some control over transpiration rates.
