After Reading the Statement Below, Answer the Questions That Follow

After reading the statement below, answer the questions that follow.
A leaf with a higher density of stomata can take up more CO₂ and release more water than a leaf with a lower density of stomata.
-Consider two plant types: 1. Plants that grow in arid (dry) environments
2) Plants that grow in moist (e.g., wetland) environments
Which plant would you expect to have more stomata, and why?

A) the first type, because plants in arid environments need to release as much water as possible
B) the first type, because plants in arid environments need to conserve as much water as possible
C) the second type, because plants in moist environments need to conserve as much water as possible
D) The two types should have equal numbers of stomata, because they both need to maintain the same water balance in their cells.
