Greenhouse gases let through a lot (but not totally all) visible light,ย  while infrared light gets trapped in, or reflected from,ย the medium. That means that although visible light is able to pass through to us on the surface, the long wavelength infrared light, which is produced as a result of this visible light heating up everything on Earth, gets trapped on its way out of the earth's atmosphere, heating up the planet.
A good analogy is the effect that a sunny day has on the inside of your car when you enter it. The light comes in, the heat stays in. The glass windows of the car display similar, although more intense, properties to greenhouse gases. Hence the name "GreenHouse Effect"
ย C.) They reflect infrared light but let visible light pass through.

I can't answer all of these, but here is Q12.

Explanation:

When plant lose too much water, they shrivel, so not C., the stomata won't close because it is attempting to gather all water, and the stomata is already open to drain and absorb. Therefore, my only conclusion to this question would be D., respiration increases, in order to let water access leaves and other sorts. By the way, I do not know what program you use, but in mine, I was correct, so you should be too. Good luck!
