Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Pores called ____ allow plants to exchange gases for respiration and photosynthesis.
A
stomata
B
guard cells
C
palisade mesophyll
D
cuticles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata are pores in the leaf that allow gas exchange. Each stoma is guarded by guard cells . When these guard cells open during photosynthesis, carbon dioxide enters the leaves and water vapour and oxygen goes out of the leaves. Stomata are present usually on the underside of the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata are tiny openings or pores that allow the exchange of gases. They are mostly found on the under-surface of plant leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Small pores present on the surface of leaves which help in exchange of gases are called stomata.

Detailed explanation-4: -Leaves of plants have tiny pores called stomata, which is used for the exchange of gases. The oxygen, taken in through stomata is used by the cells in the leaves to break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water. Similarly, roots of plants take in air from the air spaces present between the soil particles.

Detailed explanation-5: -The movement of gases in green plants or the gaseous exchange in plants is called diffusion and it is regulated by the stomata.
