Question

how do the widths of the stomatal openings of plants 6-10 compare with those of the other plants after plant 6 was osmotically shocked? plants 6-10 have stomatal openings that are about the same size as those of the other plants. the stomatal openings of plants 6-8 are larger than those of the other plants; those of plants 9 and 10 are intermediate in size. the stomatal openings of plants 6-8 are smaller than those of the other plants; those of plants 9 and 10 are intermediate in size. the stomatal openings of plants 6-8 are smaller than those of the other plants; those of plants 9 and 10 are larger.

Answer 1

The stomatal openings of plants 6-8 are smaller than those of the other plants; those of plants 9 and 10 are intermediate in size.

Plants 6-8 are experiencing drought stress and have closed their stomata; plants 9 and 10 are starting to close their stomata.

The statement indicates that the stomatal openings (small pores on the surface of leaves and stems that regulate gas exchange) of plants 6-8 are smaller than those of the other plants, while the stomatal openings of plants 9 and 10 are intermediate in size.

Stomatal size can be influenced by various factors, including environmental conditions, genetics, and plant physiology.
