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.

What is the difference between surface tension and capillary action?
MakcuM [25]
Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.

How is cytokinesis different in animals and plants? Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the p
jasenka [17]
<h2><em>Let's review what cytokinesis is first.</em></h2>

<em>Cytokensis</em> is the <em>physical process of cell division</em>. It divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two different daughter cells.

In plants, a cell wall forms. Cytokensis occurs in mitosis and meiosis. The objective for cytokensis is to divide the parent cell into two daughter cells. So cytokensis in plants is when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells. Plant cells have walls, so they CANNOT divide using a cleavage furrow. A cell plate forms across the cell during telophase.

In animal cells, cleavage furrow forms. This pinches the cell in half and forms two different cells.  

<em>A cleavage furrow is an indentation that appears in the cells surface when the cell is preparing to divide.</em>

So, let's review our options:

A: Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

This would be the <em>correct answer.</em><em> </em>The only main difference between animal cell cytokensis vs plant cell cytokensis is the cell wall that animal cells lack. Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells, by the cleavage furrow in the cell membrane, while the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

B: Animal cells give daughter cells a full set of chromosomes at the time of division; plant cells give daughter cells a half set of chromosomes. .

This can be disproven. In meosis, a cell divides into four cells that have half the number of chromosomes. In mitosis, all chromosomes are kept. Both Plant & Animal cells both reproduce using both both meosis and mitosis, so this option is <em>irrelevant. </em>

C: Animal cells require an extra grow phase before cytokensis; plant cells move straight to cytokensis.

Both animal cells and plant cells have the same amount of "grow phases" before cytokensis. This option is<em> irrelevant. </em>

D: Animal cells begin cytokensis during anaphase, plant cells begin around the same time as telophase.

They both begin during the same time. This option is also<em> irrelevant.</em>
