Question

Read the following two statements and choose the correct answer.
(i) Stomata regulates the body temperature in plants.
(ii) Stomata helps in the absorption of minerals from the soil.

• A. (i) is true but (ii) is false
• B. (i) is false but (ii) is true
• C. Both (i) and (ii) are true
• D. Both (i) and (ii) are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both (i) and (ii) are true

Stomata facilitates the process of transpiration by which water evaporates from the surface of the plant. This helps the plant to get cool and also helps in the transfer of minerals. As the plant takes water from the soil, the openings absorb other minerals.
Therefore, both (i) and (ii) is correct
Hence, option 'C' is correct.
