diffusion

How do plant leaves acquire resources through stomata?

  • By fixing CO2 into a 4-carbon sugar molecule
  • By risking water loss and stress from wind and heat. (correct)
  • By using bulk flow to acquire gases.
  • By controlling the size of the stomatal aperture through turgidity and solute potential.
  • What are the three learning outcomes related to plant leaves mentioned in the text?

  • Stomata function, leaf positioning, and stress impacts on leaf shapes (correct)
  • Chlorophyll content, leaf thickness, and temperature tolerance
  • Stomata density, leaf color, and stress tolerance
  • Leaf size, root depth, and water absorption
  • True or false: Diffusion is the mechanism by which gas exchange occurs in mammalian lungs.
