Question
Glycolate induces opening of stomata in
Options
A.presence of oxygen
B.low CO2 conc.
C.high CO2 co nc.
D.absence of CO2
Solution
Light causes photosynthesis which leads to reduction in CO2 concentration → synthesis of glycolate → oxidation of glycolate → ATP synthesis → activation of K+ pumop → movement of K+ in guard cell → movement of water into guard cells → swelling of guard cell → opening of stomata.
