alleryWhy do open stomata cause gas gain and water loss?
AOxygen enters as minerals exit
BOnly gases leave the leaf
CWater enters while CO2 exits
DCO2 enters as water vapour exits
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. CO2 enters as water vapour exits
Open stomata allow CO2 entry while water vapour leaves through the same pores.
