Question

During photosynthesis, plant leaves take in carbon dioxide through _______ in their leaves. a stomata b xylem c phloem

Answer 1

Answer:

Stomata

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis refers to the process that takes place in green plants and some algae.
• During the process, water and carbon dioxide are converted to nutrients or organic compounds using energy from sunlight.
• The process takes place in the chloroplast on the leaves of green plants.
• The water used during photosynthesis comes from the soil and then transported by xylem tissue to the leaves where the process takes place.
• Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through the stomata which are the sites for gaseous exchange.
• Sunlight is trapped by green pigments on the leaves known as chlorophyll.
