Question

  1. what is the purpose of the stomata in photosynthesis?

Explanation:

Answer:

The stomata allow carbon dioxide (needed for photosynthesis) to enter the plant and oxygen (a by - product of photosynthesis) to exit the plant. They also help in the process of transpiration, but in terms of photosynthesis specifically, their main purpose is to facilitate the gas exchange: taking in \(CO_2\) and releasing \(O_2\).
