What are the functions of stomata cells?(Select all that apply)
A
Allowing plants to take in CO2
B
Providing the cell with energy
C
Reducing water loss
D
Cell reproduction
E
Gas exchange
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This evolutionary innovation is so central to plant identity that nearly all land plants use the same pores-called stomata-to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Stomata are tiny, microscopic and critical for photosynthesis. Thousands of them dot on the surface of the plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -The role of stomata is to optimize gas exchange (the uptake of carbon dioxide and the loss of water vapor) to suit the prevailing environmental conditions. To do this plants open and close the stomatal pores and regulates the number of stomata that develop on the epidermes.
