Process by which body (somatic) cells are produced is called Mitosis
Answer:
"You have to believe the exercise works before you try it" would be the pseudoscientific claim.
Answer: Helps the plant breathe: The epidermis of the leaf contains guard cells that control and regulate the small pores on the undersurface of the leaves. These pores are called stomata. Stomata are responsible for regulating water in and out of the cell. It is also responsible for the exchange of gases across the epidermis.
Answer:
"without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur" is completely false. Light energy is needed for the light-dependent reactions, or simply the light reactions, of photosynthesis.
"oxygen is an input into photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output" is also completely false. It is the opposite.
These statements are true, however:
SUNLIGHT
CARBON DIOXIDE
WATER
MINERALS
OXYGEN
PLANT SUGARS
Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes) in the leaves.
Sunlight is an input, CO2 is an input, water is an input (taken in through the roots, transported through the veins), minerals are a collective input, oxygen is an output (produced during photolysis), and plant sugars are an output (glucose, for an example).
