Considering that leaf stoma have the conflicting functions of allowing gaseous carbon dioxide into the leaf,yet preserving the plant's supply of water,which of the following is (are)reasonable?
A)A submerged-water plant would have no stoma.
B)Tree leaves that orient flat and present the top side to the sun would have most of their stoma on the bottom of the leaf.
