    Which of the following theory gives the latest explanation for the closure of stomata?

    A)  ABA theory

    B)  Munch theory

    C)  Starch glucose theory

    D)  Active K4 transport theory

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As per 'Active K+ transport mechanism   accumulation of K_  ions occurs in the guard cell                 during the day in response to light. It increases     the turgidity of guard cells, consequently stomata            open.             During night, ions move out of the guard cells into               surrounding epidermal cells consequently guard             cells become flaccid and stomata close.
