What process(es) occur in the leaves of plants?
A
respiration and transpiration
B
transpiration and photosynthesis
C
photosynthesis only
D
photosynthesis, transpiration, and respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration. The correct option is C: Explanation of the correct option: Transpiration is the process of loss of water in the form of water vapor from the surface of aerial parts of plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis occurs when plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Leaves contain microscopic cellular organelles known as chloroplasts. Each chloroplast contains a green-coloured pigment called chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -Respiration In Leaves Leaves consist of tiny pores known as stomata. Gaseous exchange occurs through diffusion via stomata. Guard cells regulate each of the stomata. Exchange of gases occurs with the closing and opening of the stoma between the inferior of leaves and the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process by which green leaves prepare their own food by using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll is called photosynthesis. Transpiration : excess water taken up by the plants is released into the air in the form of water vapour through stomata. The process is called transpiration.
