Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Stomata open in day time due to-
A
Photosynthesis
B
Respiration
C
Guttation
D
Fermentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata are open during the day because this is when photosynthesis typically occurs. In photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose, water, and oxygen. Glucose is used as a food source, while oxygen and water vapor escape through open stomata into the surrounding environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata are mouth-like cellular complexes at the epidermis that regulate gas transfer between plants and atmosphere. In leaves, they typically open during the day to favor CO2 diffusion when light is available for photosynthesis, and close at night to limit transpiration and save water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through photosynthesis, they use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food, belching out the oxygen that we breathe as a byproduct. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -When stomata opens during daytime only and remains close in night, then they are called photoactive stomata. Hydathode is a type of pore that secretes water through pores in the epidermis or leaf margin.
