    Opening and closing of stomata is controlled by

    A)  abscisic acid

    B)  \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]concentration

    C)  concentration

    D)  light intensity

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      Opening and closing of stomata depends upon the turgidity of guard cells. When the plant has excessive water, the guard cells are turgid and stomata opens. It also depends on \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]concentration. When \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]is low is photosynthetic parenchyma, stomata open -to absorb more gas. Also as the luminosity increases, the rate of photosynthesis, also increases leading to stomatal opening. ABA or Abscisic Acid is a stress hormone that during water stress conditions induces stomatal closing.
