Diamonds and graphite are both made of pure carbon — just arranged differently.

Water vapour comes out from the plant leaf through the stomatal opening. Through the same stomatal opening carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant during photosynthesis. Reason out the above statements using one of following options
Both processes cannot happen simultaneously.
Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO is different.
The above processes happen only during night time.
One process occurs during day time, and the other at night.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the processes of transpiration and photosynthesis in plants:Transpiration: - Water vapor exits the plant through stomatal openings during transpiration.Photosynthesis: - Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the same stomatal openings for photosynthesis.Now, let's analyze the options:Option 1: Both processes cannot happen simultaneously. - This is incorrect because both processes can occur at the same time.Option 2: Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO is different. - This is correct. The diffusion coefficients of water vapor and carbon dioxide are different, allowing both to diffuse through the stomata simultaneously.Option 3: The above processes happen only during night time. - This is incorrect because photosynthesis primarily occurs during the day when light is available.Option 4: One process occurs during day time, and the other at night. - This is incorrect because both processes can occur during the day.Therefore, the correct option is Option 2: Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO is different.
