Question

Assertion A: The respiration in plants occurs as exchange of gases through tiny pores on leaves.
Reason R: The tiny pores involved in respiration of plants are called stomata.

Choose the correct option based upon the above Statements.

b. If both the A and R are true but the R is not a correct explanation of the assertion

c.If the A is true but the R is false

d.If the A is false but R is true ​

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Explanation:

yes that is the answer

Answer 2

Respiration in plants occurs with exchange of gases through tiny pores called stomata in the leaves (option a)

• Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis as they need it to synthesise sugars (glucose). This glucose is then broken down by the process of aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen in the mitochondria of the plant cells.
• This process produces a huge amount of energy in the form of ATP, which is utilised by the plant.
• Hence, the stomata of the leaves play a vital role in exchange of gases which are required for the processes of photosynthesis followed by respiration.
