Chapter 16.1, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The consequences of mutation that prevent the closing of the plant’s stomata.
Introduction:
Plants consist of three major parts: stem, roots, and leaves. The green leaves of plants have chlorophyll pigment which allows the plant to perform photosynthesis. The leaves of plants have waxy cuticle which is impermeable to water and gases.

Why do some plants grow faster than others?
Many plants have storage structures under the soil
that are quite diverse. How would you decide if the
one of these structures was a modified stem or a
modified root? Explain.
If a plant’s stomata are made to stay open at all times, orclosed at all times, it will die. Why?
