Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What structure in the leaf is involved with gas exchange?
A
Xylem
B
Stomata
C
Phloem
D
Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Leaves. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf (as well as the loss of water vapor in transpiration) occurs through pores called stomata (singular = stoma). Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.

Detailed explanation-2: -The epidermis aids in the regulation of gas exchange. It contains stomata, which are openings through which the exchange of gases takes place. Two guard cells surround each stoma, regulating its opening and closing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gas exchange in plants is achieved by stomata and lenticels. The epidermis has tiny pores called stomata (singular, stoma) that control transpiration and gas exchange with the air. During the day when photosynthesis occurs, the oxygen released from the process is utilized for respiration.
