Explanation:
The structure of the leaf is adapted for gas exchange. The cells in the spongy mesophyll (lower layer) are loosely packed, and covered by a thin film of water. There are tiny pores, called stomata , in the surface of the leaf. Most of these are in the lower epidermis, away from the brightest sunlight.
The stomata control gas exchange in the leaf. Each stoma can be open or closed, depending on how turgid its guard cells are.
In the light, the guard cells absorb water by osmosis, become turgid and the stoma opens.
In the dark, the guard cells lose water, become flaccid and the stoma closes.
Diffusion of carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapour into (or out of) the leaf is greatest when the stomata are open.
We should remember that we should consume all necessary nutrients at a correct amount and proportion. this includes the primary food substance carbohydrates, fat and protein. and protective food substance in a small amount, which includes mineral ions ( iron, calcium etc) and vitamins. Also we have to take in enough water (6-8 cups a day) and fibre to prevent deficient diseases and to maintain health.
in addition, note that the amount of food intake varies with age, sex, body status, daily activity etc. For example, teenagers and pregnant women should increase all necessary nutrients intake to ensure proper growth and development of ourselves or the baby.
