The answer is 44 chickens and 28 rabbits.

We have a system of two equations.
x - the number of rabbits
y - the number of chickens

Both chicken and rabbit have only 1 head, so the first equation is: x + y = 72.
Since rabbits have 4 legs and chickens 2 legs, the second equation is: 4x + 2y = 200.

Now, let's solve the system:
x + y = 72
4x + 2y = 200
___________
y = 72 - x
⇒ 4x + 2 · (72 - x) = 200
4x + 2 · 72 - 2 · x = 200
4x + 144 - 2x = 200
2x + 144 = 200
2x = 200 - 144
2x = 56
⇒ x = 56 ÷ 2 = 28
So, there are 28 rabbits.

Since
y = 72 - x = 72 - 28 = 44,
there are 44 chickens.

Stomata- specialized cells that contract and expand to open or close pores for gas exchange. Stomata can adjust to temperature,
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

CLOSED.

Explanation:

Stomata are found in epidermal layers in green aerial parts of plants, especially leaves. They occur mainly on the lower surface of dicotyledonous leaves, although on monocotyledonous, they are found on both surfaces. Intercellular air spaces found throughout the leaf are linked to stomata.

Stomata permits plant uptake of carbon dioxide, which is a necessity for photosynthetic processes. They also help to reduce water loss by closing when conditions are hot or dry. Stomata look like tiny mouths which open and close as they assist in transpiration.

Therefore, it can be said that Stomata adjust temperature, staying closed when temperatures are hot and dry.
