Sunken stomata are found in?

Correct answer: B. Xerophytes

  • A. Mesophytes
  • B. Xerophytes
  • C. Halophytes
  • D. Hydrophytes

Explanation

Sunken stomata are typically found in xerophytes, which are plants adapted to survive in dry, arid environments with limited water availability. These stomata are located in pits or depressions in the epidermis of the plant, which helps to reduce water loss due to evapotranspiration. Xerophytes have evolved various adaptations like thick cuticles and reduced leaf surface area to conserve water. The other options, mesophytes, halophytes, and hydrophytes, are adapted to different environmental conditions and do not typically have sunken stomata.

About Homeostasis

Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
