Answer: Option A. -> Stomata
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf (as well as the loss of water vapour in transpiration) occurs through pores called stomata (singular = stoma). Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.

Answer: Option A. -> Stomata
The numerous minute pores in the epidermis of a leaf are called stomata.

Answer: Option A. -> CAM plants
In CAM plants, stomata are open during the night and closed during day time. This is an adaptation of cutting transpiration loss of water. CAM plants grow in deserts and are exposed to high temperatures.Their stomata are open during the night for carbon dioxide uptake but closed during the day to prevent water loss.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Answer: Option D. -> Guttation
Guttation is the loss of water in the form of water droplets from hydathodes (small pores) on the leaf margin of a small herbacious plant.

Answer: Option B. -> enzymes
Oxyreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases and ligases are all classes of enzymes.

Answer: Option C. -> a change that is inherited
A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses.

Answer: Option C. -> mesophytes
Plants that grow under average temperature and moisture are called mesophytes.

Answer: Option A. -> anemophily
Anemophily is the process when pollen is transported by air currents from one individual plant to another. About 12% of the world's flowering plants are wind-pollinated, including grasses and cereal crops, many trees, and the infamous allergenic ragweeds.
