Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process through which plants leaves, stems and roots consume oxygen and give off carbon dioxide is?
A
absorption
B
translocation
C
respiration
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Consequently, leaves, stems and roots of plants separately exchange gases. Leaves possess stomata – tiny pores, for gaseous exchange. The oxygen consumed via stomata is used up by cells in the leaves to disintegrate glucose into water and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion is the process by which plant parts like roots, stems, and leaves get the oxygen required for respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Stomata are tiny, microscopic and critical for photosynthesis.
