Question

Question 7 10 pts Stomata, leaf pores, balance the ability of plants to exchange gases with the environment with the ability to control water loss. The density of stomata (number of stomata per unit of leaf area) is different in different plants due to evolutionary and physiological processes. Select the comparisons you expect to be advantageous in terms of balancing gas exchange with water loss. desert plants have a higher stomatal density than rain forest plants a plant growing in full sun has lower stomatal density than a member of the same species growing in the shade a plant growing 100 years ago has a higher stomatal density that a plant of the same species growing today

Explanation / Answer

Desert plants have lower stomatal density than rain forest plants.

Yes, there is one more comparison that can be made. The last point is also true. Over the years as the global carbon dioxide levels have risen, the stomatal density has decreased.
