Where does photosynthesis occur?

• Stem

• Roots

• Leaves

• Flower

The function of the stomata is to -

• allow the exchange of gases carbon dioxide and oxygen.

• allow the exchange of water and nutrients.

• bring water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

• bring glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
