Produced the oxygen in atmosphere

Explanation:

Photosynthetic prokaryotes have chlorophyll in their cytoplasm. The chlorophyll is join to protein to form chlorosome(light harvesting molecules) which in turn convert light energy to chemical energy and fixed carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by synthesizing light in sugar , thereby release oxygen to the atmosphere. The photosynthetic prokaryotes include cyanobacteria, algae e.t.c

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The given image shows - the Stomata that helps in maintaining homeostasis in the plants.

Explanation:

Stomata are the small structure resemble as tiny or pinholes that found on the underside of the leaves and play many roles in the plant. Stomata help in the gas exchange and also helps in transpiration.  It allows oxygen a gas and water in vapor form from the leaves to the outer environment and let carbon dioxide inside the cell.

This system also helps in transpiration by closing and opening stomata with the help of their guard cell by becoming turgid and flaccid by osmotic pressure.
