|
|
|
Yes, because it will absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis through its roots.
|
|
|
Yes, because it only needs stomata to decrease water loss in very hot weather.
|
|
|
No, because it will not be able to move sugars to its roots without stomata.
|
|
|
No, because it will not be able to carry out photosynthesis without stomata.

Detailed explanation-1: -A plant, which sprouted from a seed, has a genetic mutation that keeps it from producing stomata. Is it likely that this plant will live and grow? No, because it will not be able to carry out photosynthesis without stomata.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most life on Earth depends on photosynthesis. The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar).
Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata function as hydraulic valves on the surface of aerial parts of plants, with the guard cells that surround each pore rapidly adjusting their turgor to optimize photosynthetic CO2 uptake and minimize transpirational water loss from leaves.
