Question
how does co2 enter the plant? through the guard cells through the stomata through the roots
Stomata are small openings on the surface of plant leaves (and some stems) surrounded by guard cells. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) enters the plant through these stomata, which open and close to regulate gas exchange. Guard cells control the opening of stomata but CO₂ doesn't enter through the guard cells themselves. Roots absorb water and minerals, not CO₂ for photosynthesis. So the correct option is the one stating "through the stomata".
