Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of the stomata?
A
To protect the photosynthetic cells under the skin
B
To control water loss and entry of gases to the leaf
C
To allow gas exchange with a large surface area
D
To absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control of water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore. This stomatal movement is affected by several environmental stimuli, such as relative humidity, CO2 concentration, and light intensity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata are tiny holes found in the underside of leaves. They control water loss and gas exchange by opening and closing. They allow water vapour and oxygen out of the leaf and carbon dioxide into the leaf.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main functions of stomata are: Gaseous exchange-Stomatal opening and closure help in the gaseous exchange between the plant and surrounding. It helps in transpiration and removal of excess water in the form of water vapour. Stomatal closure at night prevents water from escaping through pores.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stomata, functionally specialized small pores on the surfaces of leaves, regulate the flow of gases in and out of plants. The pore is opened by an increase in osmotic pressure in the guard cells, resulting in the uptake of water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stomata are tiny openings or pores in plant tissue that allow for gas exchange. Stomata are typically found in plant leaves but can also be found in some stems. Specialized cells known as guard cells surround stomata and function to open and close stomatal pores.
