Choose the correct option from the following:

Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere mainly through their:

Answer:

(iv) leaves

Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere mainly through the tiny pores called stomata which are present on the surface of the leaves .

The leaves on a plant have a large number of stomata on them, hence a major portion of the photosynthesis process takes place from the leaves.
