Which function do the stomata perform in photosynthesis?

Question

producing glucose
gas exchange
capturing light energy
absorbing water

Answer 1

The primary function of stomata in photosynthesis is gas exchange. Stomata are tiny openings on the surfaces of leaves that allow for the exchange of gases—specifically, the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and the release of oxygen (O2) as a byproduct of photosynthesis. While stomata play an important role in facilitating photosynthesis by allowing for CO2 intake, they do not produce glucose, capture light energy, or absorb water directly.
