AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks for the name of the pores through which leaves exchange gases. 2. **Recall the Function of Leaves**: Leaves are essential for the process of photosynthesis and respiration, which involves the exchange of gases. 3. **Define the Pores**: The specific pores responsible for gas exchange in leaves are called "stomata." 4. **Understand the Structure**: Stomata are tiny openings on the leaf surface that are surrounded by specialized cells known as guard cells. 5. **Explain the Function**: Stomata allow for the exchange of gases such as oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and play a crucial role in transpiration, which is the loss of water vapor from the plant. 6. **Differentiate Types of Leaves**: - In **dorsiventral leaves** (common in dicots), stomata are primarily found on the lower surface. - In **isobilateral leaves** (common in monocots), stomata are evenly distributed on both surfaces. 7. **Conclude the Answer**: Therefore, the answer to the question is "stomata." ---
