Question

Which of the following correctly predicts what would happen if a plant was lacking stomata?

It would not have chloroplasts needed for photosynthesis.

It would lack structural support tissue, causing it to collapse.

It would not be able to transport minerals from the roots.

It would lose large quantities of water to the surrounding air.
I think its A not sure

Answer 1

it's not A. Stomata are like "gas gates" for leaves, and they close to prevent desiccation.

Answer 2

stoma, "mouth" or "pore" :P

Answer 3

Wait.... damn r I was reading stRoma.

Answer 4

haha makes sense. it's so closely spelled

Answer 5

would it be B? because since it is like a gate, it needs to pass through there?

Answer 6

I mean C

Answer 7

@aaronq

Answer 8

to the roots? where are stoma (and stomata) located?

Answer 9

I don't know, I never learned plant parts.

Answer 10

okay, we'll it seems kinda silly that they're asking you about a certain part of a plant when you don't know where it is \(\color{red}{ON}\) the plant :P

just so you know, it's on leaves (usually the bottom). The stomata close to avoid desiccation (via water vapour loss to the environment).

Answer 11

So it would be D? and I think I just wasn't paying attention when they were talking about the plants.

Answer 12

yes. lol pay attention please

Answer 13

I'm sorry

Answer 14

lol its okay.
