Question

How would the quantity of stomata compare between plants in tropical environments and plants in hot, arid climates?

A. Plants in tropical climates would have fewer stomata because they would need to prevent the absorption of too much water from the atmosphere.

B. Plants in hot, arid climates would have fewer stomata because they would need to prevent undesirable water loss from the plant leaves.

C. Plants in hot, arid climates would have more stomata because they would need to release heat from the leaves to prevent dehydration.

D. Plants in tropical climates would have more stomata because they would need to absorb more water from the air than plants in arid climates.

Answer 1

The correct answer is (B)

Plants in the hot, tropical and arid conditions have fewer stomata as compared to colder regions to prevent the loss of water. The quantity of the stomata depends on the environmental conditions where the plant is present. If the plant is present in colder conditions where the loss of water does not affects the plant but if the climate is hotter then the quantity of stomata is less to prevent excess water loss.

Answer 2

The quantity of stomata compared between plants in tropical environments and plants in hot, arid climates is

Plants in hot, arid climates would have fewer stomata because they would need to prevent undesirable water loss from the plant leaves.
because in tropical it has more stomata
so correct option i conclude is B
hope it helps
