1- The Streptophyta super group includes the basal freshwater Charophyta plus the Embryophytes land plants
2 - The Chlorophyta is the sister clade of green algae that includes the marine species
Answer:
The correct answer would be D.Alveolar sacs are surrounded by thin capillaries where gases can be exchanged.
Alveoli are tiny sacs which form the site of gas exchange in the lungs.
The features of alveoli which help in gas exchange are:
- They increase the surface area in the lungs thus, more space is available for gas exchange.
- They have very thin walls, as thin as the thickness of a single cell only.
- They are surrounded by a bunch of thin capillaries which exchange gases with alveoli.
The stomata and their guard cells allows this happen.
Stomata is like a hole or gap on a leaf, most of them are present in a bottom side of the leaf, since waxy cuticle is not present over there. And 2 guard cells make up a stomata.
Guard cells are able to control the size of the stomata, depending on the situation. For example, the guard cells close up during day time because a lot of sunlight may cause more water loss.
In conclusion, guard cells and the stomata are the main structures that allow carbon dioxide and oxygen (water too) diffuse in and out of leaves.
