The stomata of plants are responsible for allowing water to escape through the leaf of a plant. Which of the following would you expect to observe under a microscope in a leaf that was picked during a rain storm in Houston? A. There would be a larger amount of closed stomata to prevent the loss of water through transpiration. B. There would be a larger amount of open stomata to allow the loss of water through transpiration. C. There would be a larger amount of closed stomata to prevent the loss of water through absorption. D. There would be a larger amount of open stomata to allow the loss of water through absorption.​

The correct answer is B. During drought, stomata can be closed to prevent excessive water loss through the process of transpiration.

Stomata are tiny pores or openings which are in plant tissue and they allow exchange of gas. They are found in the leaves of a plant.

Guard cells helps in the opening and closing of stomata. The pores allows in, carbon dioxide into the plant which is well known as needed during the process of photosynthesis.

They help in reducing water loss and that is why the leaves close when it is dry or hot. The closing and opening of stomata helps in the process of transpiration.

Hope This Helps :D

A is the correct answer to the question

a

explanation:

many plants naturally reproduce this way, but it can also be induced artificially. horticulturalists have developed asexual propagation techniques that use vegetative plant parts to replicate plants. success rates and difficulty of propagation vary greatly. monocotyledons typically lack a vascular cambium and therefore are harder to propagate.
