The DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the carrier of genetic information from all forms of living organisms. This is the main reason of the inheritance of traits, behaviors, attitude, physical appearances, and many more that helped, not just the human being, but all living organisms in the planet to adapt, adjust, evolve, and survive for generations and generations. The DNA is carried by the cells of the living organisms' body and is stored and shared eventually. Though it was discovered that the DNA is a long complicated helix that contains mostly all the information of life, this is stored in the nucleus of a cell because it is folded and condensed together with the other genetic materials.

Carbon dioxide and oxygen enter and exit a leaf by diffusion. which structure(s) on a leaf allow(s) this process to happen?

Montano1993 [528]

The stomata and their guard cells allows this happen.

Stomata is like a hole or gap on a leaf, most of them are present in a bottom side of the leaf, since waxy cuticle is not present over there. And 2 guard cells make up a stomata.

Guard cells are able to control the size of the stomata, depending on the situation. For example, the guard cells close up during day time because a lot of sunlight may cause more water loss.

In conclusion, guard cells and the stomata are the main structures that allow carbon dioxide and oxygen (water too) diffuse in and out of leaves.
