The diagram illustrates photosynthesis.

which best describes what is happening in the area marked y?

oxygen is released into the atmosphere through stomata.
carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through stomata.
oxygen is released into the atmosphere through xylem.
carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through xylem.

plz quick

The correct answer is "Oxygen is released into the atmosphere through stomata."

Explanation:

A plant needs water, (H₂O) carbon dioxide, (CO₂) and light energy to produce food that is oxygen (O₂) and glucose through a process known as "photosynthesis".

Water + Carbon dioxide + Light energy = Oxygen + Glucose

In the attached diagram, it is shown that plant releases oxygen into the atmosphere through the leaves (stomata).

The stomata controls the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the plant whereas xylem is used for the transportation of water from the roots to the leaves in the plant.

The process of photosynthesis only happens when the light is present, plants have a pigment named "chlorophyll" which absorbs the light energy.

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
