Lungs are the part of the human’s body which have similar functions as stomata in plants.

Humans breathe through the lungs, bringing oxygen to the blood and getting rid of carbon dioxide. The blood transports the breathed-in oxygen through the body, where it is used by the cells, and takes carbon dioxide back to the lungs, where it is breathed out.

Plants, on the other hand, have very small structures (like holes) on the underneath of leaves, called stomata, which let the carbon dioxide and oxygen in and out. Stomata are not just simple holes, they contain guard cells that regulate opening and closing so that the plant does not lose too much water.

Which group is noted for the independence of gametophyte and sporophyte generations from each other?

Ratling [72]

<h2>Gametophyte and Sporophyte Generations</h2>

Explanation:

The sexual stage, called the gametophyte generation, produces gametes, or sex cells, and the abiogenetic stage, or sporophyte age, produces spores abiogenetically
As far as chromosomes, the gametophyte is haploid (has a solitary arrangement of chromosomes), and the sporophyte is diploid (has a double set)
All aquatic plants have alternation of generations. In mosses and their family members (Bryophytes), the haploid gametophyte is the predominant age, and the diploid sporophytes are sporangium-bearing stalks developing from the gametophytes
