Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear particle which is positively charged is known as an alpha particle. An alpha particle is emitted during a radioactive decay.

Mass of an alpha particle is similar to mass of a helium atom, that is why, a helium atom is also known as an alpha particle.

Therefore, an alpha particle is denoted as ^{4}_{2}He. That is, there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in an alpha particle.

Thus, we can conclude that an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

Answer;

-Helium atom

Explanation;

-An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

-Alpha particle is one type of particles emitted during a radioactive decay, others being gamma and beta particles. Alpha particles are produced during the process of alpha decay.

-When an alpha particle is generated during a radioactive decay, the mass number of the radioactive particle increases by 2 while the atomic number increases by 4.

The image shows a magnified view of a leaf's surface with the stomata visible. What’s the significance of these structures in th
Deffense [45]

The correct answer is option (d) They allow the exchange of gases between cells in the leaf and the external environment.

Stomata are the tiny openings present in the epidermis (outer layer of cells) of the leaf. They have a pore which is guarded by the guard cells which controls the opening and closing of the stomata. Air enters and exits through the stomata.

The main funtion of stomata is to facilitate the gaseous exchange. The gas exchange that occurs when the stomata are open helps in the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere and oxygen is released as a by-product of photosynthesis. The glucose produced is converted into the starch and stored in the leaves.

Also, water vapour diffuses through the stomata into the atmosphere by a process called the transpiration.

Thus, stomata are the structures that are mainly involved in the gaseous exchange between the cells of the leaf and the atmosphere.
