Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is most likely to happen when stomates are open?
A
CO2 will leave the leaf
B
Guard cells will lose water and become flacid
C
transpiration will shut down
D
water is released
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata must open to allow the gas exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen for efficient photosynthesis (see Photorespiration), and light thus typically triggers stomatal opening. When stomata are open, however, water vapor is lost to the external environment, increasing the rate of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata also take in atmospheric carbon dioxide to initiate photosynthesis. As photosynthesis occurs, stomata open for the plant to obtain more carbon dioxide.

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.
