RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following environmental conditions can cause the stomata to close during the day because the rate of transpiration is too great
A
Humid Weather
B
If plant loses too much water
C
high temperatures
D
high wind
E
high level of carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Similarly, if the temperature is very high, the plant may close its stomata to reduce water loss, even if the light intensity is low. Temperature-as temperature increases, so does the rate of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photorespiration generally occurs on hot, dry, sunny days causing plants to close their stomata and the oxygen (O2) concentration in the leaf to be higher than the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Especially in hot and dry environments, the stomata will remain closed to conserve water. During the day, when there is available sunlight for photosynthesis, the stomata will be open. During the night, the stomata will be closed. In a very hot and dry environment, the stomata will be closed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Increased movement of the air around a plant will result in a higher transpiration rate. If there is no wind, the air around the leaf is still and transpiration raises the humidity around each leaf. Wind moves saturated air, close to the leaf, away replacing it with less saturated air.
