Question

Tiny pores are found on the surface of the leaves of plants. These pores are called stomata. These stomata surrounded by the kidney-shaped guard cells provide many vital functions to the plants. Which of the following functions is not served by the stomata for the plants?
2 points

(a) Exchange of gases, particularly CO2 and O2, with atmosphere
(b) Loss of water in the form of vapours during transpiration
(c) Helps to create pressure for the water to rise upward, by its process of transpiration
(d) Helps the leaves to carry out the process of photosynthesis​

Answer 2

The function which is not served by the stomata for the plants is - Helps the leaves to carry out the photosynthesis.

Stomata do not play any role in process of photosynthesis. Hence, this function is not served by the stomata.

(a) Exchange of gases, particularly CO2 and O2, with atmosphere

The exchange of gases also occurs through stomatal pores.

(b) Loss of water in the form of vapours during transpiration

Opening and closing of stomata facilitate the loss of water. The change in turgidity of guard cells helps with the closing of opening of stomatal aperture.  

The increase in turgidity in guard cells forces the stomata to open up and water is lost in the form of evaporation.bWhen the turgor is reduced, guard cells become flaccid resulting in the closing of the stomatal aperture.

(c) Helps to create pressure for the water to rise upward, by its process of transpiration

The water column inside plant comes in tension during the process of transpiration. Because of this tension, the water is pulled up in the plant, which is called transpiration pull.

Answer - Helps the leaves to carry out the process of photosynthesis
