1.

A student observed the image and concluded that this image is depicting respiration in plants. Is the claim made by the student correct?

a)

Yes; this structure is stomata, which helps the plant to take in oxygen from the soil

b)

Yes; this structure is root hair, which helps the plant to take in oxygen from the soil

No; this structure is tracheae, which helps the earthworms to take in oxygen from the soil

d)

No; this structure is a spiracle, which helps the cockroaches to take in oxygen from the soil
