Leaves of green plants contain openings known as stomates, which are opened and closed by specialized cells allowing for gas exchange between the leaf and the outside environment. Which phrase best represents the net flow of gasses involved in photosynthesis into and out of the leaf through these openings on a sunny day?

• Carbon dioxide moves in; oxygen moves out

• Carbon Dioxide and oxygen move in; ozone moves out

• Oxygen moves in; nitrogen moves out

• water and ozone moves in; carbon dioxide moves out
