Identify the function of each plant structure mentioned in the options.
Understand that gas exchange in plants involves the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.
Recognize that stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that facilitate this gas exchange.

Conclude that the structure directly responsible for gas exchange is the stomata.
