Answer:

B. stomata.  

Explanation:

Stomata are openings in the surface of the plant epidermis through which gases and water vapor pass. They are formed by two elongated cells whose shape is similar to bean grain or dumbbell depending on the species.  These cells are called guard cells, and in their midst there is a slit called the ostiole.

The stomata make the exchanges between the external and internal environment of the plant. They regulate the size of the opening, so it is possible to increase or decrease the rate of perspiration of the plant.

Stomata are usually located at the bottom of the leaf, but in aquatic plants such as the water lily they are at the top and still in vertical growing plants on both sides.

D. the 23rd pair of chromosomes

Explanation:

Humans have a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes. Out of a total of 23 pairs, 22 pairs are autosomes. Autosomes are the chromosomes that carry the genes for all the genetic traits but are not involved in the sex determination of the individuals.

The 23rd pair of chromosomes in humans is of sex chromosomes as these chromosomes carry the genes to regulate the gender of the individuals. A human female has two copies of the X chromosome as sex chromosomes while human males have one X and one Y chromosome as their sex chromosomes. The Y chromosome carries "SRY" gene that codes for testes determining factor and regulates the development of testes in the embryo.

marishachu [46]

The correct answer is option C, that is, physical weathering.  

The weathering resulting due to the influences of changing temperatures on a rock, making the rock to split apart is known as physical weathering. There are two main kinds of physical weathering, that is, exfoliation and freeze-thaw.  

Physical weathering takes place mainly in the locations, where few plants grow and little formation of soil occurs, like hot deserts and mountain regions. It takes place either via repeated freezing and melting of water or via contraction and expansion of the rocks surface layer, which is baked by the sun.
