Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stomata are openings in the leaves of plants that allow for gas exchange. They allow for the intake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen as a byproduct. They also allow for the release of water vapor during transpiration. Therefore, the correct answer is D: carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapor. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they only mention one or two of the gases involved in gas exchange. Choice E is also incorrect as it mentions spores or gametes, which are not involved in the process of gas exchange.
