Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Through what part of the plant are gases such as CO2 and O2 able to enter and leave?
A
Chloroplasts
B
Roots
C
Stomata
D
Seeds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide and oxygen cannot pass through the cuticle, but move in and out of leaves through openings called stomata (stoma = “hole"). Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata. When stomata are open to allow gases to cross the leaf surface, the plant loses water vapor to the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Stomata are holes made from spaces between special cells. These holes are where plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air. Once inside the leaf, the carbon dioxide can enter plant cells. Inside the plant cells are special cell parts called chloroplasts, where photosynthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The stomata of a leaf allow carbon dioxide to enter. The stomata is an opening on the lower surface of leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through tiny pores present on the surface of the leaves called stomata. Note: Photosynthesis occurs during the day time. Thu stomata are open mostly throughout the day for supplying the carbon dioxide to the plants. Respiration occurs throughout day and night.
