Why are there more stomata in the bottom of leaves
Jobisdone [24]

Stomata play an important role in photosynthesis as they allow the plant to absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. In exchange, stomata allow oxygen, which is a waste product of photosynthesis, to be released. In the process, water vapor is also lost as the internal parts of the leaves are exposed. To reduce exposure, stomata are found on the underside of the leaves. They are protected from the sun as excessive heat can increase the rate of water vapor leaving and thus wither the plant. Stomata also have guard cells around the epidermis that close when too much water is being lost.

What is the difference between a vascular and a nonvascular plant? In your answer, discuss how water moves in each type of plant
Otrada [13]

Vascular plants have a vascular system while nonvascular plants have NO vascular system.

Explanation:

The vascular system is made of phloem – that transports food- and xylem- that transports water and minerals- in the higher plants. Examples of these higher plants are like trees and shrubs. These plants can take up water and nutrients from the soil and transport them up the plants to the leaves.

Lower plants have no vascular system (avascular). They mainly absorb food and water readily from their environment even through their leaves. This is why these plants are mainly found in humid areas like waterways, like canals. Examples of such lower plats are ferns and mosses.

The answer is; graph A

Breathing increases during exercise because the body is demanding more oxygen for the muscles.
