Which of the following best pairs the leaf structure with its role?

a. stomata–absorbs light
b. veins–connect the vascular tissue to the stem
c. palisade mesophyll–coats the epidermis to prevent water loss
d. cuticle–conducts photosynthesis

B. Veins–connect the vascular tissue to the stem

Explanation:

A.- Wrong. The stomata's function is transpiration. They serve as receiving and releasing port for oxygen, and carbon dioxide.

B.- Veins. Incorrect, the veins are the organ in charge of connecting the vascular tissue that gathers and distributes water and food through the vascular net in the leaf.

C.- Incorrect, they capture light to propitiate photosynthesis.

D.- Cuticule's function is to prevent the escape of water on the epidermal plant's surface, as well as preventing the barrier for other molecules.

The reason behind B to be the best option is that the middle leaf vein connects the leaf to the stem.
