Which of the following correctly predicts what would happen if a plant was lacking stomata?

it would not have chloroplasts needed for photosynthesis.

it would lack structural support tissue, causing it to collapse.

it would not be able to transport minerals from the roots.

it would lose large quantities of water to the surrounding air.

The following which correctly predicts what would happen if a plant was lacking stomata is the last one : It would lose large quantities of water to the surrounding air. I think so because stomata is placed on the top of the plant, to be more exact - on the leaves, so it's quite logically that the last option is the only correct.

1. true.2. true.3. true.4. false.5. true.the concept of darwin's theory of evolution involves the idea that there are limited resources in a given living environment and that the organisms which live within have variations in their genetic make up due to random mating. the ones with beneficial genetic variations can express certain traits which give them an upper hand in surviving and reproducing in the said environment compared to ones who may have a more disadvantageous variation in traits. over time, the organisms with an upper hand will survive and reproduce more frequently and pass on their beneficial genes while the others die. the result is evolution, where we observe (usually, but not always) eventually, phenotypic distinct changes.
