Answer:b. Facilitated transport

Explanation:in the usual activities of the cell,it's cell membrane is responsible for the movement of substance in and out of the cell.

Such substances include nutrients,water, oxygen etc.

The plasma membrane select the substances that it allows into the cell thus it is said to be selectively permeable.

The plasma membrane of the cell has a phospholipid bilayer made up of cholesterol, proteins and glycoproteins.

The proteins on the membrane are useful for facilitated diffusion.

In this diffusion process,the proteins helps to carry large molecules across the cell membrane.such molecules includes glucose,amino acids etc.

In the process energy is not expended so it is a type of passive transport.

adoni [48]

Answer:

Stomata are the organs present on the stem and leaves of the plant and help in the gaseous exchange and evaporating water present in the aerial parts of the plant. Mainly leaves stomata plays role in gaseous exchange and transpiration which is the evaporation of the aerial water of plants by opening and closing the stomata. Stomata are small pores mostly and normally present under the leaves and regulated by the guard cells, dum bell shaped cells to close or close it.

Other than closing and opening the stomata, stomata density also can affect the rate of gas exchange as well as transpiration. Stomata density is the presence of the numbers of the stomata per unit area. In heat or sunny area the stomata density is higher than the shady or dark area to increase the transpiration in order to cool down the leaves of the plant which prevent the chloroplast proteins to denature.
