Stomata are small openings present on plant leaves. on a hot dry day, the stomatal openings remain closed to reduce the loss of water. which characteristic of living things is described here? energy usage homeostasis cellular organization

Homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis may be defined as the ability of the living organisms to maintain the internal physiological environment in response to the internal and external stimulus. Humans, plants and other living organisms shows the homeostasis mechanism.

Stomata are the small opening present in the leaves that helps in the exchange of gases and water. The hot dry day causes the stomata to remain in closed state so that water can be prevented and reduces the dehydration or loss of water in plants. This maintains the homeostasis of the plants.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
