Question

enters the leaves of the plants through stomata and helps in photosynthesis.

Solution

Carbon dioxide:

  1. The stomata, or microscopic pores in the leaves, allow carbon dioxide, an ambient gas, to enter the leaf (a stoma is a single pore).
  2. Water enters the leaf through stomata when it penetrates directly from the atmosphere.
  3. These basic materials make their way into the chloroplasts of the leaf's spongy and palisade layers.
  4. A plant's stomata allow it to absorb carbon dioxide, which is necessary for photosynthesis.
  5. They also assist in reducing water loss by closing when the weather is hot or dry.

Final answer: Carbon dioxide enters the leaves of the plants through stomata and helps in photosynthesis.
