Answer:

Stomata are small pores present on the surface of leaves and stem in plants. There are specialized cells named as gaurd cells which facilitates the opening and closing of stomatal pores. The two main functions of stomata are:

1. Gaseous exchange : It allows the uptake of carbon dioxide which is an important ingredient for conducting photosynthesis and release of oxygen to the external environment which is a product of photosynthesis.

2. Prevents the loss of water: Stomata remains closed during dry and warm external environmental conditions so as to prevent water loss.

In ordinary plants if stomata remains closed than there will be no gaseous exchange therefore, photosynthesis will not take place in these plants. Closed stomata will also prevent loss of water in dry and warm external conditions.

Lady_Fox [76]

The correct answer is:

CO2 diffuses passively out of the cell. O2 in respiration is converted to water. O2 diffuses in to the cell.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction in which glucose and oxygen are converted into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP). In this reaction, glucose and oxygen are reactants, while water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP) are products. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to change biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate and then discharge waste products.
